The Procession of Santa Marta, where everyone makes a promise.

Every July 29th in the village As Neves (Pontevedra), one of Spain’s most theatrical processions takes place.

The Virgen Carmen is also regarded as the protector of fishermen, who have the honour of carrying the virgin, usually into the sea, or on a boat.
