Holidays and festivals, taganga

By Lorraine Caputo

Carnaval, those days before Lent, are observed with dusk costume parades, music and dancing. Get your disguise prepared and join in the fun. Don’t forget the maicena (corn starch).

 

Taganga, along with Santa Marta and El Rodadero, honors the Virgen del Carmen, the patroness of fishermen and sailors. This village is the starting point of the flotilla of boats on 16 July.
