Los Caballos Fuscos are a cultural tradition developed and preserved for more than a hundred years by residents of the Los Quemados neighbourhood in the municipality of Fuencaliente de La Palma. The group has collaborated, participated and exchanged experiences with various groups, public bodies and cultural institutions of an island and regional nature, representing the town of Fuencaliente and the island of La Palma on Canary Islands Day in Tenerife, Fuerteventura and Gran Canaria, taking part on several occasions in the television programme Tenderete and collaborating with Los Caballos Fufos in the municipality of Tazacorte for its 100th anniversary.
The association's mission is to promote and disseminate the recreational, cultural and historical activity of the Caballos Fuscos as part of the cultural and ethnographic heritage of the Los Quemados neighbourhood, to research and preserve Los Caballos Fuscos as an expression of the popular and traditional culture linked to the Los Quemados neighbourhood of Fuencaliente de La Palma, and to encourage collaboration, participation and the generational handover among residents in the development of this cultural tradition.
