Romeria de la Naval

The Romería de La Naval, held in the La Isleta neighborhood of Gran Canaria, is one of the island's most deeply rooted celebrations, with strong religious and popular connections. This festivity honors the Virgin of La Luz, patroness of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and sailors, with a colorful procession that gathers hundreds of people dressed in traditional attire. During the pilgrimage, decorated carts make their way toward the church, accompanied by folk music, traditional dances, and offerings of local products, creating a festive atmosphere that reflects the devotion and sense of community among the participants.
