The residents of San Ramón started the preparations for their patron saint celebrations, a tradition that has been observed for more than 165 years.

On July, 17th, the celebrations will be starred by 30 families in the area who aspire to the title of “Queen family”, an achievement obtained by wearing ancient, traditional, local outfits to pay homage to their ancestors.

This competition is held for the fourth time and will be at 2:00 pm in Casa Pastoral de San Ramón.

In addition, the event features opportunities to dance and enjoy the local cuisine.
