It’s party time in Playa Blanca at the moment, as the resort gets down to the serious business of celebrating the major fiesta of summer, which is held in honour of the Virgin of Carmen, the island’s patron saint of fishermen.
As an island that was once much more reliant on fishing than it is today this fiesta is a real traditional favourite with the locals and it is celebrated in most of the major towns and resorts around the island during July. In Playa Blanca the action got underway at the weekend as a number of sporting events were staged around the resort.
But for anyone staying in one of our villas over the next week there’s still plenty more to enjoy as the festivities step up a gear, with the majority of events taking place at the large open ground close to the main bus station.
This year’s highlights include a raft of live music events and the annual Miss Yaiza beauty pageant. Here are some of the best dates for your diary.
