The Patron of Tejeda is Our Lady of the Socorr or, the population celebrates the celebrations in its honor every 8 September in the surroundings of the hermitage that takes name of the virgin.

Every year the village of Tejeda comes back to this festival that consists of a pilgrimage that lasts all evening long to the sound of the rondallas and with innumerable carts. All the money is given to charities of the island of Gran Canaria, it is possible to taste the best products of the region and enjoy the typical costumes that all attendees wear.

The hermitage where Nuestra Señora del Socorro resides was built in 1931, has a particular eclectic style and was the work of Rafael Massanet and Fernando Navarro. The Hermitage settled in the same place where previously there was another chapel that was completely destroyed after a fire that took place in 1920.

The image of the Virgen de Nuestra Señora del Socorro is a carving work of the Arsenio de las Casas carver, it has a face similar to that of the Virgen del Rosario de Agüimes.

The nature of Tejeda is undoubtedly one of the most interesting attractions that this part of the island of Gran Canaria can offer us. One of the most spectacular viewpoints, with the most impressive views and must-see is known as Mirador de Becerra. From here you can see the Almagría Mountains in the northern part, while looking to the south you can see the Montañas de Mejoranas, one of the best known perspectives of Gran Canaria.

To get to the viewpoint of the Degollada de Becerra it is necessary to start from the Cruz de Tejeda, you can see a wide path whose first part is paved and which is going up. During the trip you have to enjoy nature, the walk runs between laburnums, broom and some chestnut trees until finally you reach the Mirador de Becerra.

The walk is well worth it because once there the views are fantastic, you can see the Roque Nublo, also known as Roque Fraile, of the Bentayga or the Altavista Mountain. The elevation also allows you to see the neighboring island of Tenerife whose Teide reigns majestically. No doubt as well said Unamuno on this landscape a whole "petrified storm".
