On July 16th we celebrate La Virgen Del Carmen, which is a local holiday in Fuengirola.We are therefore closed at the dental clinic.

Carmen is the patron saint of sailors and fishermen, and the local saint of Los Boliches, since the time when Los Boliches was a small fishing village within the municipal boundaries of Fuengirola.

The day is celebrated with a procession where the Madonna is taken out of the church in Los Boliches and brought down to the beach and then out to sea along the coast.
