Las Palmas de Gran Canaria's Parque Santa Catalina, more square than park, is the home of Cine + Food, which will appeal to foodies as much as film buffs. Early August sees Bajada de la Rama, the Descent of the Branch, as Agaete locals head down from the highs of Tamadaba carrying pine to thrash the ocean with in imitation of an ancient rainmaking ceremony.
