Romería Barquera Fiestas del Carmen - Los Cristianos 2026
About the plan
The traditional Romería Barquera (Boat Pilgrimage) in honour of the Virgen del Carmen takes place in Los Cristianos, part of the municipality of Arona, as one of the central events of the Fiestas del Carmen 2026.

Participation is free of charge, inviting both residents and visitors to join this moving maritime celebration that honours the area's fishing tradition and legacy.
