Motril Fiestas Spanish towns & cities are famous for their festivals (fiestas), & Motril is no exception. There are many fiestas throughout its calendar, some larger than others. Here we list some of the more popular fiestas to look out for:-
Easter week is celebrated in a bigger way in Andalucia than in the rest of the country. Neighbouring towns compete with one another in terms of the size & grandeur of events. Festivities in Motril take the obvious religious undertones, but with processions & floats (some carrying effigies), others flowers, & much more. On July 16th local sailors honour their patroness La Virgen del Carmen. The event takes place around the port of Motril. An effigy of the patroness is first paraded through the town streets & then out at sea aboard a flower laden boat; often trailed by a flotilla of fishing boats. The evening culminates with much dancing & singing, as well as the customary fireworks.
