Carved into the cliffs of Playa de Santiago, Ermita del Carmen stands as a beacon of faith. This small, whitewashed church, Ermita del Carmen, isn’t just a place of worship. It’s a vessel of tradition, especially during the annual fiesta, Nuestra Señora la Virgen del Carmen. Imagine the scene: a vibrant procession of dancers in traditional costumes carries the statue of the Virgin down to the harbor. The air thrums with anticipation.
