Mass in honour of the Virgen de los Dolores
Sunday 11 October is the main day. It opens at 08:00 with the ringing of the bells, and at 13:00 the mass in honour of the Virgen de los Dolores is celebrated, with music from the Chájogo folk group. The programme continues in the afternoon with the children's party, and at 20:00 the procession that closes the fiestas sets off.
Sunday 11 October brings together the central acts of the fiestas. The day starts early, at 08:00, with the ringing of the bells that announces the main day, and the principal religious act comes at 13:00 with the mass in honour of the Virgen de los Dolores.
The mass is accompanied by the Chájogo folk group, the same one that takes part in Friday's romera dinner, so the same folk tradition runs through both the festive and the religious side of the programme. Candelaria town hall states that the image of the Virgen de los Dolores is kept in the church of San José, in the centre of the neighbourhood. The programme does not state the exact venue for this event, so it is worth checking the Candelaria town hall channels in the days beforehand.
