Festival of La Candelaria
Alhaurín de la TorreEvery year on 2 February the Purification of the Virgin of la Candelaria is commemorated in Alhaurín de la Torre.
The previous afternoon an offering is made to the Virgin of rings of bread adorned with coloured ribbons, and at nightfall an enormous bonfire is lit in the central square on which effigies are burnt. On the following day, the babies born that year are presented to the Virgin during mass.
Once this event ends, the women carry the Virgin in a procession while they distribute the bread rings blessed in the mass, and collect donations from the crowd.
