July 16: Feast of Carmen

The Carmen festival in the municipality of Tinajo is celebrated in the fishing village of La Santa. It is a festival with a great seafaring tradition since the Virgen del Carmen is the patron saint of sailors. Although her festival is celebrated on July 16, on Santa it is generally celebrated a week later. Among the most notable events is the seafaring procession, where the sailors themselves and their families are in charge of decorating their boats and carrying the Virgen along the nearby coast... Festivals, musical performances, children's activities, popular races, etc. are other activities that are organized to commemorate this festival.
