My Extremely Unusual Saturday Night
That I Wanted To Share With You, Since Usually I Am Never Anywhere In Particular
I know this is the last thing on anybody’s mind but I’m very excited to find myself actually in a fishing town (Almuñécar) in Spain on the eve of Virgen Del Carmen, which is a religious festival that seeks protection for all sea-farers. I’m dressed and ready, and just wanted to tell you all that I’ll be there, thinking of you all, as I take photos and videos.
”Most of the Día de la Virgen del Carmen traditions involve at least one parade through the town, making its way to the sea front. Usually, a flower-strewn effigy of the Virgin is carried through the streets by a group of the local fishermen. When they reach the sea, they are usually met by a flotilla of illuminated and decorated boats, all sounding their horns. After prayers are made for all those at sea, the statue is then customarily taken on a boat, around the local harbour as the fireworks and bands accompany her journey.”

Tourism shared is tourism doubled? Thank you so, Celia from Oregon
Enjoy your time. I'm near of you in Portugal. You must come someday to come to see my country. ❤
