SUMMARY:Procession Virgen del Carmen in Torrevieja 2025
DESCRIPTION:\nPROGRAMME OF FESTIVITIES IN HONOUR OF THE VIRGEN DEL CARMEN\n\nOn Tuesday, July 16, the procession of the image of the Virgen del Carmen will take place.  \n\nThe Virgen del Carmen is the patron saint of sailors and fishermen.\n\nThe Fishermen’s Association of Torrevieja and the Department of Festivals of the City of Torrevieja have prepared a programme of activities for the celebration of this festivity.\n\nEvery year, around July 16, Torrevieja is filled with fervour and seafaring tradition to pay tribute to the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of fishermen. This emblematic celebration, deeply linked to the seafaring soul of Torrevieja, is organized by the Fishermen’s Guild and has become one of the most anticipated events of the summer. \n\nDuring this festivity, the streets of the centre and the fishing port become the scene of a programme of events that, year after year, keeps alive the roots and feeling of a community that looks at the sea with devotion.\n\nA day full of tradition\n\nThe big day begins with the joyful awakening marked by the bull’s-eye, a lively parade with a music band that runs through the main streets of the city, announcing with joy the arrival of the day of the Virgin.\n\nAt noon, the port becomes the center of attention with the traditional cucaña, a fun and slippery test that challenges the bravest.\n\nIn the afternoon, after the Eucharist celebrated in the Archpriestly Temple of the Immaculate Conception, one of the most emotional events takes place: the Great Maritime Procession. The image of the Virgen del Carmen is carried on shoulders to the port, where it is embarked to tour the bay accompanied by dozens of decorated boats. A visual and emotional spectacle that attracts both neighbors and visitors.  \n\nTHIS YEAR, DUE TO THE WORKS OF THE PORT, THE TRADITIONAL BOAT OR PROMENADE OF THE VIRGEN DEL CARMEN WILL NOT BE CARRIED OUT\n\nMuch more than a religious festival\n\nDevotion to the Virgin of Mount Carmel goes beyond the spiritual sphere. His name is present in the daily life of Torrevieja: from the Virgen del Carmen school to the Cultural Center ( https://torrevieja.com/en/virgen-del-carmen-cultural-centre/ ) that bears his name, this figure occupies a special place in the local identity. \n\nFESTIVAL PROGRAM\n\nSaturday 12 July\n\n12:00 p.m. Children’s entertainment show14:00h.
