San Antonio
13 de Junio
Program
The night party, the dance takes place on Calle del Pilar, around a small altar of the Saint located between a bazaar and a bar.
Previously it was located on Calle de San Antonio, which still exists today.
Mothers accompanied their daughters to the dance, monitoring their behavior.
Several contests are held, among others the one for the ornamentation of facades.
Saint Anthony, in addition to being a holy matchmaker, is very useful to entrust him with lost things, which they say appear again.
Organizing this festival, which had been lost, the cultural association La Mezquita (now defunct), from the town of Carchelejo, which in the years that it functioned, developed a great effort to recover the old town festivals.
