Festes del Carme July 2016, L’Ampolla
Between 14 and 17 July, L’Ampolla celebrated La Mare de Déu del Carme, the town’s patron saint and the saint of the sea and fishermen.
The celebrations reached their peak on Saturday evening with a procession of boats out of the harbour in honour of the Virgin, followed by a spectacular firework display. Hundreds of people watched from the waterside, ate dinner at restaurants along the harbour or took picnics to the beach.
Here are some pictures of the evening, plus a timelapse film of the firework display.
Thank you to Jamie Watson for the video.
