The Day of the Man of the Sea will be celebrated on May 4 and 5 in Nazaré, with the processions on land and at sea.
The commemorations of the date will begin with the procession on land, from the Nazaré Cultural Center to the Chapel of N. S. Aflitos, which will be accompanied by the Philharmonic Majorca and Fanfarra Volunteer Firefighters of Nazaré (May 4). At night, there will be a spectacle of the fisherman (9.30 pm) at the Cineteatro.
On Sunday, before the procession at sea with the traditional three laps to the cove, will be the concert of Toy (12h30), on stage mounted on the sand, near the building of the Captaincy.
