The final touch will be by Jesulito with the Academia Eloelo. The special delegate of Bonanza-La Algaida, David Cáceres, will attend the events.
Following the festival, religious services in honor of Nuestra Señora del Carmen will continue until July 16, the feast day, which will conclude with the traditional procession and its meeting with the faithful on the Guadalquivir River.
