Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados

The Mare de Déu dels Desemparats is the patron saint of sailors in Dénia, the celebration in her honor is of great tradition in the city and takes place every second Sunday in May.

The Commission of Festes de la Mare de Déu and the Fishermen’s Guild are in charge of organizing the program of events, the most outstanding are the popular lunch and the procession in the port neighbourhood, which stands out for its visual impact, as all the boats are decorated for the occasion, their sirens sound with the passing of the image and the celebration ends with fireworks.
