Virgen de los Remedios Procession
On 15 August, the Brotherhood of Santa María de los Remedios carries Estepona's historic patron saint in procession through the streets of the historic centre.
On 15 August, the procession in honour of the Virgen Santa María de los Remedios takes place — Estepona's historic patron saint. The Brotherhood organises a series of events in the preceding days, including a popular fair and a Marian tribute before the procession on the 15th.
The church of Nuestra Señora de los Remedios, in the Plaza de la Iglesia in the historic centre, is the heart of the celebration. It is one of the oldest religious traditions in Estepona, recalling the centuries when the Virgen de los Remedios was the city's principal patron, before that role passed to the Virgen del Carmen.
A procession with its own character, distinct from the sea procession of Carmen the month before. The historic centre as setting.
