The sea and fishing are essential elements to understand the culture of the Costa da Morte and with it the importance of the Virgen del Carmen as the patron saint of sailors. This is why the celebration of the festivities of the Virgen del Carmen is almost an obligation in every port of the Costa da Morte, but few can be compared to the one held in Camariñas both for its history and for its spectacularity. Here you can enjoy the traditional bow dance and the maritime procession where the floral offering is made in the middle of the estuary.

The festivities of the Virgen del Carmen are celebrated every July 16 in Camariñas with an atmosphere that is lived in the town for a whole week of devotion.
