I booked to be there 13th & 20th just to be sure - we love the atmosphere during this fiesta. Had expected it to be the 20th, but if it's half as good as last year plus the added excitement of World Cup, we'll need the second week to recover!! :)

Are they doing the disco again this year..not that I want to go..hoping to avoid it..just hope if they do then its not on the beach this year :(

oh no what a shame we too arrive on the 15th :(

Thank you Sparky - looks as packed a programme as last year. Can't wait now :D

Can anyone explain to me the significance of the procession out to sea and the appearance of the Devils later on in the evening? I thoroughly enjoyed it the other year but had no idea what it was!

Do they still do the trucks that throw the sweets out at the children ? I seem to remember this being done during this week ?

That is San Cristobel (spelling) the patron saint of lorry drivers and it usually is on the Saturday before La Verge del Carmen, they drive around the Port blasting their horns and throwing sweets out to the children :D.
