Festivities of El Carmen

The Festivities of El Carmen in Mogán are a traditional celebration honoring the patron saint of fishermen and sailors. Held in the picturesque municipality of Mogán, this event is highlighted by an emotional procession in which the image of the Virgen del Carmen is transported from the church to the sea on a decorated boat, symbolizing protection and blessing for those who venture onto the ocean. The festivities, which take place in July, also include a variety of cultural and recreational activities such as concerts, performances by folk groups, popular dances, and local competitions.
