The Virgen del Carmen will be proclaimed perpetual mayor of Mogán, and the Pilgrimage-Offering will debut a longer route at the request of residents.

Arguineguín and Playa de Mogán will celebrate the festivities in honor of the Virgen del Carmen between July 6 and August 2 with a program that combines religious ceremonies, tradition, and popular activities.

One of the highlights will take place on July 16, when the image of the Virgen del Carmen of Arguineguín will be proclaimed perpetual mayor of Mogán during the Eucharist presided over by the Bishop of the Diocese of the Canary Islands, before the procession through the town’s streets.

Another new feature affects the Arguineguín Pilgrimage-Offering, scheduled for July 11. The procession will follow a longer route, starting from El Perchel beach, in response to a request from participating groups.

The images of the Virgen del Carmen from Arguineguín and Playa de Mogán will also debut new vestments for this year’s festivities.

The traditional maritime processions will once again connect the two coastal towns. The image from Arguineguín will sail to Playa de Mogán on July 19th, and the image from Playa de Mogán will return the visit on August 2nd.

The program also includes open-air dances, concerts, outdoor cinema, children’s activities, traditional tournaments, and a seafood fair.
