The spectacular July fiesta in Puerto is traditionally regarded as ‘The Fiesta’.
As always, the highlight of the fiesta occurred with the traditional embarkation of the town’s patron saint la Virgin del Carmen.
She, with the fisherman’s patron saint, San Telmo, were rocked amorously and fervently towards the harbour and embarked for a boat ride into the bay followed by all sorts of games, competitions, junior fishing tournaments, a folklore festival and innocent frolicking in the water. The old port became a mass of people as thousands gathered to witness the 88th embarkation of the virgin, a tradition which began in 1921.
