San Ramón

The 31st August is the fiesta of San Ramón, the patron saint of Torre del Compte.




At midday there is the celebration of mass in the church and ...




...San Ramón is given a tour of the village.


As we leave the church we are presented with a handful of pieces of cake, which have been blessed and sprinkled with holy water, from Carlotta and Julia, who is wearing traditional costume in the picture above,.


Meanwhile, the paella is being prepared in the Plaza Mayor...


...for the meal with around 450 people enjoying it.



We certainly did!
