According to legend, the island was formed by throwing stones and sinking old ships around a rocky outcrop, all to build a church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Every year on July 22, the ceremony of Fasinada continues this tradition of stone throwing, symbolising unity and gratitude. This unique cultural and spiritual event draws visitors from around the world, eager to partake in this ancient ritual that bridges faith, tradition, and the community’s enduring bond with the sea.
