The village of White celebrates the pilgrimage in honor of its patron San Roque.
At 8 am, the march began with the tolling of bells and loud booming firecrackers and rockets.
The tour started in the church square and continued along the streets Generalissimo, Concepción and Barrio Nuevo, reaching the so-called "end of town" where the pilgrims continued along the road to the station, until the San Roque field.
Once there, hundreds of faithful honored their patron, first Mass in his honor and then passing a branch of thyme by the stripes of the Holy, as tradition dictates.
Of Blanca lived the big day of the Spring Festival where you eat the traditional "mona", fried rabbit with tomato, a piece of omelet, a handful of broad beans and washed down by a good drink of wine.
At 19 hours, the saint came to the town where thousands of people waited for him to carry in procession to the parish of San Juan Evangelista, the rhythm of it, and the uncle of La Burra which has become an anthem of Blanca on this day.
