San Antón
Description
San Antón is celebrated on 17 January. The night before, the streets fill with “luminarias” (bonfires), around which people sing and grill chorizo, chops and sardines. Popcorn is a snack associated with this celebration. It is an age-old tradition in which, additionally, on the afternoon of 17 January, residents bring their pets to receive a blessing, and San Antón is carried in procession around the squares surrounding the parish church of San Pedro.
