1. Virgin ChiquinquiraNovember 18 The month of November is of special significance to the people of Zulia, because for the same are held celebrations in honor of the Chinita (equivalent of guajirita Zulia) or Lady of Chiquinquira. It is for this reason that these days, the bagpipe sounds with particular frenzy and joy throughout the Zulia. Of the many festivities in honor of the Virgin, perhaps the most impressive is the so-called Sunrise Piper, in which the people of Maracaibo is assembled on the morning of day 18 in the courtyard of the Basilica, to sing to the Mañanitas and Chinita Happy Birthday.
