If you have had the fortune of having stayed at Hotel Yaramar this time of year you might already know that today is very important day in Los Boliches.
The Virgen del Carmen festival is celebrated in many coastal towns and village across Spain, and the Costa del Sol is one of the best places to enjoy it.
The history of Virgen del Carmen appears in the Old Testament where it is said that during Pentecost prophet Elias saw the Virgin on a cloud and he then built a temple in Mount Carmelo in her honour.
Virgen del Carmen is now the patroness and protector of sailors, fishermen, scuba divers and even the Spanish Army, so they always ask her to provide good conditions for fishing and protect their boats.
In Fuengirola, the procession of Virgen del Carmen will start this evening at around 20:45 from the Virgen del Carmen Church in Los Boliches. This is considered by many as the most unique and special procession of the year as it ends with the Virgin in the sea surrounded by small boats and fireworks.
If you are staying at Hotel Yaramar this evening we definitely recommend you not to miss this celebration from your balcony or from our pool area.
We hope you enjoy one of the most awaited events of the year in Fuengirola!
