María Isabel Montoya García was then crowned Fiesta Queen with Ana Artero Ayora, Andrea García González, Rocío García Pérez and Marisa Haro Torres presented as her Dames of Honour. The Fiesta also revived its traditional ribbon race for married couples (for the first time in years) as well as for the children, giving the chance for many older ones to take part in the fun, once again. There was also the traditional mass to pay honour to Cristo Rey, followed by dancing until the early hours. José Antonio Fernández, Mayor of the local hamlet, was delighted with the number of locals who took part in the proceedings and, gave special thanks to the many visitors who joined in and made it all so special.
