Last Friday, Águilas celebrated the day of its Patroness, the Virgen de los Dolores;
a festival that came preceded by the traditional Serenade to the Virgin that the Aguileño Musical Board offered Thursday night at the doors of the church of San José and during which the Board wanted to recognize the support of José Martínez, known by all as " Pepe the one from La Poza. "
Also on Thursday there was the proclamation of Holy Week, in charge, this year, of José Luis Vázquez Rojas.
The day of Friday of Dolores began with the visit of the first aquiline mayor, Mari Carmen Moreno, next to the mayor of Cemeteries, Isabel Fernández, and the president of the Brotherhood and Brotherhood of Our Lady the Virgin of Dolores, José Cáceres, to the municipal cemetery.
There, next to the image of the Dolorosa, they deposited a floral center.
Afterwards, the ceremonies began with a solemn Mass, after which the most colorful moment of the day was lived: the floral offering in which thousands of aquilines, dressed in traditional garments, honored their patron with flowers;
a gesture that was accompanied by the performance of the Association of Friends of Traditions and the inauguration of the Day Fair, an initiative launched two years ago by the Vocalía de Juventud del Paso Azul.
The day ended with the traditional procession of the Patron on the shoulders of its bearers.
