About this tip
Each year the community of Sainaguá, in San Cristóbal, hosts the Festival de Atabales, a gathering of drum groups playing atabales music, with more than 30 groups in a recent edition and exhibitions of traditional dishes. Recent editions have run over three days in late November, so plan around that and confirm with the Fundación Sol Naciente, which organizes it. The festival is recognized as national cultural heritage; the main venue is the foundation headquarters, so ask for that address on arrival.
