Mazarrón has lived today his big day around the 'Virgin of the Miracle', name with which the image of the Purest Conception that is venerated in the hermitage of Bolnuevo is affectionately known.

The virgin, accompanied by hundreds of faithful, has been taken in pilgrimage from Mazarrón to the popular fishing district between chants and cheers who gave thanks to the patron who worked the miracle precisely on November 17, 1,585.

During the tour, which has not lacked food, dancing and devotion to La Purísima;

The image has made its traditional stop at the Las Moreras nucleus and also at the desalination plant 'Virgen del Milagro' where a pioneer photovoltaic plant has been inaugurated in the Region of Murcia that will provide energy to the installation belonging to the Irrigation Community Mazarrón, lowering the price of desalinated water obtained from it.

The inauguration was attended by the mayor of Mazarrón, Gaspar Miras, the president of the Irrigation Community, José Hernández, the delegate of the Government in Murcia, Francisco Jiménez, the Minister of Water and Environment, Antonio Luengo, and the first lieutenant Mayor of Mazarrón, Ginés Campillo, among other authorities and with a high presence of regional deputies of various political formations.

Once in Bolnuevo, the 'Virgen del Milagro' has processed through the main avenue and the promenade to the sound of music and its bearers, both there and during the rest of the tour marked by a sunny and mild day despite the forecasts of cold, they have asked for the protection of the patron with the traditional song 'Purísima Concepción with that blessed hand, give us the blessing'.

Once on the beach, the traditional campaign mass has been carried out in which once again the pilgrims have shown their devotion to the image to accompany it, once the trade is finished, to the hermitage of Bolnuevo where they will rest until next year , when I go back to Mazarrón on the occasion of the 'Fiestas del Milagro'.

The celebration has ended with a moraga of sardines that has been distributed among the attendees that has been offered by the City Council of Mazarrón.
