The Virgen del Carmen celebration is at 6pm at the Fish
Market of Puerto de Mazarrón. There, the Pastor of St. Jose Church will
officiate a Mass in honour of the patron. Then around 6.30pm will see the start
of the traditional maritime procession by the waters of the bay of Mazarron,
departing from the fishing pier in the Puerto in the direction of Bolnuevo and
subsequently returning. The highlight of the event as always will be the
offering of the wreath.
The "Guiñamón" is the boat that has the honour
this year of carrying the image of the Virgen del Carmen. As usual, dozens of
ships and boats will go in procession through the waters of Mazarrón. Following
the tour it will proceed to transfer the Patron to the Church of San Jose with
the stop on the boardwalk at the Cofradía de Pescadores de Puerto de Mazarrón
Many locals and tourists enjoy this day with excitement, one
of the highlights of the coastal town.
