The “Virgen del Carmen” Fair<\/strong> is, along with the “Feria Internacional de los Pueblos”<\/a><\/strong> and the “Virgen del Rosario Fair”<\/a><\/strong>, one of the most important celebrations in Fuengirola. This historical celebration commemorates, every year during several days of festivities, the veneration and devotion of the residents of Fuengirola towards the Virgin of Carmen<\/strong>, who is the patron saint of the fishing district of Los Boliches.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During these days, the Virgin of Carmen Fair,<\/strong> commonly known as the ‘Los Boliches Fair,’<\/strong> <\/em>takes place in the fairgrounds<\/a><\/strong>. In this fair, you’ll find booths to spend the day or night with a lively atmosphere of music, dance, and celebration, along with the opportunity to enjoy food in each of them. Then, at the beginning of the fairgrounds<\/a><\/strong>, the iconic fair rides and some food stalls are set up.<\/p>\n

July 16th,<\/strong> the day of the Virgin of Carmen,<\/strong> is the most important day of this celebration. On this day, a procession takes place where a group of sailors, carrying the throne of the Virgin on their shoulders and accompanied by a musical band, parade through the entire city and then reach the beach, entering the sea with the Virgin of Carmen<\/strong> on their shoulders. It is truly a beautiful sight, and if you have the opportunity, we recommend watching it because it will give you goosebumps.<\/p>\n
