Lustral Festivities: Descent of la Virgen del Carmen

The Bajada de la Virgen del Carmen in Vallehermoso, La Gomera, is one of the most emblematic events of the municipality’s Fiestas Lustrales. In this large-scale procession, the image of the Virgin is carried from her hermitage to the Church of San Juan, accompanied by the ancestral rhythm of the tajaraste and strong popular participation. The procession, rich in fervor and tradition, becomes a collective tribute that unites generations around devotion and the cultural identity of the community.
