Balearics - La Virgen del Carmen Festivities











If you are on your Balearic Islands holidays this weekend then Corona Holidays suggest that take advantage of the local festivities which will be going on over this weekend ...16-18 July.

This Festival pays tribute to the seafarers and is held mainly on the Sunday - 18 July.  The main event consists of a maritime procession and a floral offering at the seashore in memory of seamen.  Mass is then held in hour of the patron saint of seafarers - the Virgin of Carmen.
