This weekend, on May 9 and 10, the district of Nueva Andalucía in Marbella will celebrate its traditional Virgen Madre Pilgrimage, an event that will take place around the Turtle Lake and will once again gather neighbors and visitors for one of the most anticipated festivities in the area. The district councilwoman, Vanessa Ortiz de Zárate, highlighted that "it is one of the events where faith and coexistence will walk hand in hand" and emphasized that the initiative "is part of the most deeply-rooted traditions of the place and represents a meeting space in a privileged natural environment."

The councilwoman also wanted to thank "the work and involvement of the Virgen Madre parish, the Brotherhood of Nueva Andalucía and its Youth Group, who make the celebration of this pilgrimage possible every year." She also valued the collaboration of the Aloha Golf Club and Mimosín, which will be in charge of children's entertainment.

The program will begin on Saturday, starting at 5:30 PM with the 'Pilgrimage Afternoon' at Turtle Lake, which will feature performances by Eva Piñero and 80s music by Pablo Petri. On Sunday, the day will start at 8:30 AM with the departure from the Virgen Madre parish to Turtle Lake. At 11:30 AM, there will be a Eucharist sung by the rociero choir of Virgen Madre. Throughout the day, there will also be musical performances by Duo Arenal and Sonacay, as well as activities for all audiences and traditional gastronomy.
