Embarcación Virgen del Carmen

The municipality of Puerto de la Cruz once again hosts the popular festivities in honor of the Virgen del Carmen as part of the Great Festivals of July that host the traditional event of the Boat of the Virgen del Carmen.
Many people gather at the fishing pier to welcome the arrival of the Virgin whose throne is loaded by the fishermen to one of the boats to leave later in maritime procession. That same day the religious act takes place in honor of the Virgin and San Telmo and then the fishermen take the images throwing all kinds of praise and compliments, which are then embarked on the fishing pier and strolled along the coast of the municipality. At the end of the boat, the Virgin leaves in procession through the streets of the municipality.
