Hello and welcome to the July issue of Soltalk . Would somebody please tell me what happened to 2022 ? It does seem to be rushing along and we are already passed midsummers day ! So what happens in Nerja during July ?
The evening of July 16th sees the procession of the Virgen del Carmen . This fiesta is common throughout the coastal communities of Spain . Whereas some towns hold a draw to choose the boat that will carry the image of the Virgen del Carmen out to sea , in Nerja the town actually has a special boat which was designed just for Virgen del Carmen Day . The night before the Virgen del Carmen festival there is a floral offering and the next day all the activity begins , culminating in the procession that takes the Virgen out to sea . For the Virgen del Carmen events schedule visit the Nerja tourist office . I love to watch the procession arrive on the Torrecilla beach , it happens around dusk and is very moving with a band playing along as well .
Meanwhile Nerja is ready to welcome even more visitors to come and enjoy the weather , beaches and the many bars and restaurants we get to enjoy all year round . We hope you all have a wonderful July and don ’ t forget the sunscreen !
