Every year, during the month of September, a nocturnal route to the Ere del Hermano Pedro is held, which is organised with the aim of recovering the memory of the various traditional activities of the region.
This remembrance activity starts with a night walk that begins in El Médano and ends with the arrival at the ere, a magical corner of the coastline converted into an open-air stage to host a show that usually includes projections, traditional theatre and music, among other activities.
Here we find a natural amphitheatre of great ethnographic value linked to the figure of Brother Pedro, the first Canarian saint, traditional uses, transhumance routes and shepherding.
It is a natural watering place at the bottom of the ravine, which the Guanches already used on their cattle routes. The word ‘ere’ has African origins and roots, and is a landscape feature that is covered with sediment washed down by the rains, keeping water at a shallow depth.
Subsequently, if a little digging is done and this hole is left to fill with the liquid, it can be drunk or collected, which is why it was used by goat herders, especially by Brother Pedro.
