  • Candelaria is Spanish for Candlemas (aka the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus or the Feast of the Purification of the Virgin), which is celebrated on the second of February. There are many places in the Hispanic (or formerly Hispanic) world named for this Catholic feast day.
  • thanks for the explanation!! . . . . . . . . by the way: there are many Spanish names from Spanish times here on (Enlish- or French-)wikimapia, waiting for the breakdown of their origin . . . Thanks a lot for your help: as you know there are no good maps at all and only rudimentary historical records about these beautiful landscape!
