The courtyard of the Convento de Santo Domingo hosted the awards ceremony for the 'Decorate Your Stall' contest, an initiative by the municipal company Turismo de Ronda, S. A. and the Association of Peñas of Ronda, ASOPE. The main goal is to enhance the ambiance in the Real, located at the Ángel Harillo Fairgrounds, during the Pedro Romero Fair and Festivals.
The Mayor of Ronda, Mari Paz Fernández, presented the awards. A jury, comprising representatives from Turismo de Ronda and ASOPE, visited the participating stalls to assign scores. The jury included the Councilor for Tourism, Ángel Martínez; the president of ASOPE, Juan Diego Rodríguez; and Javier Mañas, a professional from Turismo de Ronda.
“"Aspects such as Ronda's identity, traditional ambiance, aesthetic care, originality, and creativity were evaluated in the stall decorations."
Peña El Botijo received 800 euros and a diploma, while Peña El Catite was awarded 700 euros and a diploma. Peña Las Gitanillas took home 600 euros and a diploma. The Mayor thanked all the peñistas for their involvement in organizing the Fair, emphasizing that their participation helps to "continue enhancing our Fair".
The presidents of the awarded peñas, Cándido Ruiz (El Botijo), Ramón Flores (Las Gitanillas), and Ana María Huesa (El Catite), expressed their gratitude upon receiving the diplomas.
