Like every year, on July 16 the festivity of the Virgen del Carmen is celebrated. An event in Port d’Andratx, which dresses up for this date, as it is the patron saint of the sea and the fishermen of this coastal town of Mallorca.

This seafaring procession is one of the most awaited events of the year in the municipality and attracts numerous devotees and tourists from all over Spain and the rest of the world.
