Despite not classifying any Canarian activity in the national ranking, the Culture Observatory presented by the Fundación Contemporánea and made up of more than a thousand professionals from the sector, places Phe Festival already Mueca at the top of the cultural offer of the islands for the second consecutive year. We continue to be surprised and grateful for the consideration and recognition of the effort that has been made through the active policies of Puerto de la Cruz, generating a cultural ecosystem that would not be possible without the support of the public.

To offer these results, Fundación Contemporánea sends a questionnaire to a panel of experts made up of more than a thousand top-level professionals from our culture: writers, artists, directors and actors, musicians, architects and creators from all fields; heads of foundations, directors of museums, theaters, cultural centers and institutions; editors, producers, promoters, gallery owners and managers of cultural industries; exhibition curators, festival directors, cultural managers and professionals in the sector, as well as heads of cultural areas and institutions of the central, regional and municipal public administration.

In this new edition of the Observatory of Culture, the questionnaire has been answered, during the months of December 2021 and January 2022, by 358 members of the panel, of whom 44.7% work in a public cultural organization, 39. 9% in a private cultural organization and 15.5% as independent professionals in the sector.

Among the most outstanding novelties in the 2021 report in the Canary Islands, other festivals of different genres are added to the ranking, such as TEA, Keroxen, Festival Internacional Clownbaret and Canarias Jazz & más, events that share the first positions with WOMAD, the Canary Islands International Music Festival, the Festival del Cuento and Masdanza.
