A group of people in Tenerife take part in a traditional festival with plants.

The Mint Tea Pilgrimage. El Amparo. Icod de los Vinos

Escorted by the Mint Tea Orchestra, the pilgrims dance and sing as they search for these fragrant leaves, which they then use to adorn the streets of the Amparo neighbourhood during the festivities.
