Virgen del Valle maritime procession in Pampatar

Overview

The traditional Barloventeo maritime procession in honor of the Virgen del Valle took place in Pampatar Bay, Nueva Esparta. The event, which commemorates the 115th anniversary of the Virgin’s canonical coronation, involved hundreds of boats including fishermen and devotees.

During the ceremony, one fishing boat began to take on water and partially sink. Nearby vessels assisted the crew, who were safely rescued, and the boat was subsequently towed to allow the procession to continue. This year’s commemoration was noted for its austerity, showing solidarity with victims of recent earthquakes in La Guaira.
