⛪️The Day of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (el día del Carmen), celebrated on July 16th, is significant for sailors.
In many coastal towns, processions honor the Virgin Mary, believed to protect mariners. Statues of the Virgin are carried through the streets to the waterfront, then placed on boats 🛶and paraded across the water.
This tradition symbolizes her role as a guardian of those at sea, seeking her blessings for safe voyages and thanking her for past protections. The festivities combine religious devotion with maritime heritage.

🖼️The Sorolla Museum in Madrid holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorite museums. Not only is it a treasure trove of 👨🏼🎨Joaquín Sorolla’s masterpieces, but it also offers a glimpse into the artist’s life and creative process.
Despite its affordability, the experience it provides is invaluable. The museum’s modest entrance fee is a small price to pay for the wealth of beauty and inspiration within its walls.
From Sorolla’s vibrant paintings to his tranquil gardens, every corner is infused with his artistic spirit.
Whether you’re a fan of art or simply seeking a peaceful retreat from the bustling city streets, the Sorolla Museum offers an enriching and immersive experience that is worth every penny. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Madrid’s cultural landscape.

The Carnival of the Canary Islands is a colorful celebration, featuring lively parades, vibrant costumes, and traditional music that reflects the archipelago’s rich cultural diversity.
In Lanzarote, the carnival’s climax is the “Entierro de la Sardina” or Sardine Burial, a symbolic farewell to festivities. This unique event involves a mock funeral procession for a giant sardine, culminating in its symbolic burial.
Lanzarote’s festivities, influenced by local artist César Manrique, also showcase striking architectural displays. The combination of lively celebrations and distinctive traditions make the Carnival in the Canary Islands and Lanzarote a captivating expression of cultural identity and artistic flair.
