PHOTO GALLERY: Mare de Déu de Loreto 2019 – Santísimo Cristo del Mar

Tuesday 7th September 2021 – Compiled by MIKE SMITH

For another year, the festivities that honour Mare de Déu de Loreto, the patron of the port zone – often known as the “port fiesta” – have been put on hold and replaced by a symbolic programme that meets all the current health protocols.

Sadly, this year we should have been celebrating the 125th anniversary of the fiesta, but we’ve been promised an extra special edition in 2022.

In the meantime, here are some images from the 2019 edition, the day honouring Santísimo Cristo del Mar with its informal party in the street of the same name, followed by the formal procession in the evening:
