In the seafaring town of Carril, most of the fiestas take place in July: El Carmen (16th of July), El Apóstol (25th of July) and San Fidel (the Sunday after the Apóstol) are the three main appointments, although there is also a party in August, which is San Roque. The annual festival of the Virgen del Carmen, patron of the sailors, is experienced here with deep devotion. The most outstanding religious service is the sea procession that takes place in the afternoon. The image of the virgin –which is believed to protect the sailors- is taken on a ship, followed by several boats while, from the bank, hundreds of people see their journey.

The Apostle is other of the festivities that you can experience with great devotion in Carril. The most remarkable act that takes place on this day is the Sword Dance, in which participate several young men of the town. The party is completed with the parade of giants and bighead figures, the music of the band and the street performance of brass bands.

San Fidel is the last popular party of July in O Carril. To honour the Italian saint open-air night parties and folk exhibitions are celebrated.
