Fiesta del Carmen Puerto de la Cruz 2022 - Fiestas de Julio

The term Fiesta del Carmen is still prominent in Los Realejos contrary to the celebration in the oldest Tenerife resort.
One may wonder why.    

Times have changed in Puerto de la Cruz, though, after almost two years of Corona restrictions without hardly any events. Hence there, the ancient tourist resort is taking a huge summer break of jolly partying while the Grandes Fiestas de Julio are now advertised everywhere.

Fiesta del Carmen Puerto Cruz 2022 now Fiestas de Julio featuring Poseidon

Is Poseidon replacing the main symbol of Fiesta del Carmen ?

I stumbled upon the Puerto Cruz Cabalgata announcing event on July 08. Then,  the Greek God Poseidon of the ocean featured with his trident on a float. He was followed by giant Disney characters.  Poseidon seems to have replaced Our Lady of Carmen the patroness of the Puerto Cruz fishing folks and the sea.

Also, another tradition has been revived in the oldest Tenerife resort. That's the Lazy Bones called El Haragán. Fireworks followed his burning in the town's little harbor.
It's said that this character has arrived from another Tenerife town.

By the way, the Reina del Carmen is now called Reina de las Fiestas de Julio.
