Tasters from the first procession of the Saints last evening, the men are in green processing Saint Roch and the ladies are in maroon processing the Madonna,
Spectacular event even a heathen like me was impressed, the statues were transported by about sixty souls from the old church, the Ermita de San Roque through the town and up the steep hills to the Parish Church of Santa María la Coronada at the highest point in the town.
