La Mare de Déu del Carme, La Savina's fishermen's procession

16 July is the festival of the island's fishermen: a procession sets out by sea from the port of La Savina to lay a floral offering for sailors, and the day continues with traditional ball, activities for children and concerts. It is organised by La Savina's residents' association. Es Pujols, a former fishing cove, holds its own procession around the same dates.
