they say in the 16th century, some sailors found an image of the Virgin of Guadalupe in a cave in Puntalana, La Gomera. They picked her up and when they tried to sail again, they found that it was impossible to get away from the shore. So they returned to the island, because it seemed that the Maiden did not want to leave it. Today it is in that place a hermitage.
In 1872, after years of pandemic and great drought, there is a record of the first descent Our Lady of Guadalupe from its reserve to the capital of the island of San Sebastián de La Gomera. But it will be only in 1943, when Art Mirror festivals. From this year, the Bajada is celebrated every five years (5 years) and the Virgin of Guadalupe is the only patron saint of all the Canary Islands who is transported by sea during her Bajada.
