Feste de la Verge delCarmen 2014

Can anyone explain to me the significance of the procession out to sea and the appearance of the Devils later on in the evening? I thoroughly enjoyed it the other year but had no idea what it was!

Do they still do the trucks that throw the sweets out at the children ? I seem to remember this being done during this week ?

That is San Cristobel (spelling) the patron saint of lorry drivers and it usually is on the Saturday before La Verge del Carmen, they drive around the Port blasting their horns and throwing sweets out to the children .
