The route takes in the buildings that bear witness to the history of La Oliva. The meeting point and welcome take place in the Plaza de la Iglesia de la Candelaria. From there, the tour proceeds to the Museo del Grano in La Cilla, the Iglesia de la Candelaria and the Ermita de Puerto Escondido, before continuing on to the Colonel's Doctor's House and the Casa de los Coroneles, which can only be viewed from the outside. The tour concludes at the Mercado de las Tradiciones.
Along the way, characters will appear to explain the buildings and locations. The Raíz del Pueblo association, which is committed to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Canary Islands, sees the tour as an educational initiative: the theatrical element is intended to facilitate an understanding of local history and raise awareness of the need to protect this heritage.
