Afurada: devotion and religious practices

The fishing community of Afurada expresses a great devotion to St Peter, their patron saint, invoking him in times of greatest distress and dedicating several days of celebrations to him at the end of June. The worship of Our Lady of Fatima, whose affirmation coincides with the creation of the parish, has within the community a special importance. The religious fervor, experienced and externalized by the population of Afurada, constitutes one of the cultural and identity expressions of this place.
