Festivities of Santa Ana and La Virgen del Carmen

Candelaria celebrates throughout July the festivities in honor of its Patron Saint, Santa Ana, whose image is kept in the parish and neighborhood that bear her name. The celebrations take place primarily in the square, streets, and other areas of the Santa Ana neighborhood, as well as around the fishing pier, El Pozo Street, and Plaza de los Pescadores. These are the most deeply rooted festivities among the local population, celebrated throughout the month with a wide range of popular events for all ages.
