A History Of Canarian Wrestling – Museum of History & Anthropology

One of the finest local sporting traditions, Canarian Wrestling has a long and popular history. Now at the Museum of History & Anthropology at Casa de Carta, La Laguna you can view a slice of history through the Luchas Rosario club.
Until mid September this club,founded in 1943, will illustrate the sports history and some of the great sporting champions it has produced. To the uninitiated it’s a more refined form of sumo that takes place in a sand circle, usually in a terrero building. Not just about brute strength, it involves skill and tactics as two opponents try to outwit each other.
The museum in Carretera Tacoronte is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 9am to 7pm.
