Museo Las Parrandas Remedianas

In the museum, photos, models, costumes, lanterns and other elements used in the Las Parrandas Remedianas, a popular festival that is celebrated every year on December 24 and constitutes a deeply rooted tradition among the residents. The origin of these festivities dates back to Christmas in 1820, when the city priest, seeing his church without parishioners, found no better resource to call them to mass than to form a group of young people than at two in the morning. On December 16 they toured the town with scandalous music from rattles, cowbells and bells, played without order.
