The festival at Portosin tonight involves a sea procession where the throngs accompany Our Lady of Carmen on her return to the sea once a year to bless the waters where the sardines feed. We've been told that visitors can taste the fish that is so important to the town's economy, free of charge at the Festival of the Exaltation of the Sardine (I did not make that up). Skylark's crew will be dining onshore tonight at a restaurant named Pescador, with any luck after getting some free sardine appetisers on the way there.
