Once again it is the high point of the summer for Puerto de Mogan – every year on a Sunday in mid-July our lovely harbour witnesses a very special and joyful event.  “La Virgen del Carmen” – Patron of the fishermen – is joyfully and lovingly transported by boat from Arguineguin, and welcomed into Puerto de Mogan amidst much festivity from hundreds of happy spectators.  The arrival is accompanied by a large flotilla of local craft of all sizes – whose owners and guests have a truly wonderful time, barbecuing, dancing and singing along the way.  Drenched in local atmosphere, this is a delightful and unforgettable tradition marking the beginning of the eagerly-awaited “Fiestas del Carmen” celebrations here in Puerto de Mogan, which will continue this year until Sunday 3rd August.
