On Saturday, the Sala Mercado was the scene of the presentation of the special cake being produced in honour of the Virgen del Carmen, patron saint of seamen.
The Virgen del Carmen celebrations take place on July 16th and the local Costa del Sol bakery was commissioned to design and produce a special cake for the event. The large presentation cake was, quite aptly, shaped like an anchor.
At the end of the presentation the cake was devoured by the assembled throng. Normal, smaller cakes will be available in shops in Nerja as from next month.
