At 8:30 p.m., the residents and attendees of the Marine Pilgrimage set off from the vicinity of the venue, touring the streets of the town.

The decorated cart carried the patron saint in procession, accompanied by the Los Curbelos de Tahíche band, who cheered with their songs and dances along with the pilgrims, filling the streets of Los Ancones with color as they passed.

The Guanapay de Teguise folklore group offered the patron saint the best of their traditional songs and dances from her throne, setting the rhythm and joy on a very special day, which is becoming more and more participatory every year.

Similarly, the El Golpito band encouraged the attendees with their songs. During the pilgrim's dance, the residents distributed cheese, homemade sponge cakes, wines and liquors among those present.
