In early October 2026, Palma and Santa Cruz de Tenerife formalized a twinning agreement to strengthen institutional, cultural, and economic collaboration. The partnership focuses on historical ties and maritime and air connections between the cities. During this period, Santa Cruz de Tenerife also hosted the 18th Plenilunio festival, featuring over 100 activities themed around ‘The Four Elements’.

Later in October, Santa Cruz de La Palma was selected to host the XIX National Congress of Brotherhoods of Prayer in October 2028, an event intended to highlight the religious and patrimonial traditions of the island. Additionally, La Palma del Condado organized a solidarity event, including a charity lunch and music festival, to raise funds for 2027 Three Kings Day celebrations.
