The Procession of the Virgin

This is perhaps the star of the events which take place during the celebration of the festival of the patron. A siren sounds from rula, announcing the descent of the Virgin from the chapel to the parish church, where she spent the night. At dawn, the bell rings again, and the Virgen leaves the church, accompanied by church members, a set of bagpipes and a whole entourage of followers. At the port, the rest of the people await the arrival of the Virgin, who is mounted on a boat that is waiting on the shore and goes to sea, while members of the public throw flowers overboard, in memory of all those sailors who lost their lives fishing.
