The day starts with a mass at noon in honor of San Ramón Nonato. It is also a mass for the Baturros (peasants of 
A group called “Templanza Aragonesa” sang as the choir, dressed in Baturros costumes.
Last year, only two adults dressed in costumes, Jordi and Nuria. This year there were more.
At the end of the mass, the statue of San Ramón is taken on a platform and carried through the village.
The procession passes right in front of our house.
The Baturros and people follow the statue.

After this mass, all the “Pensionistas” (Retirees) are treated to snacks, beer, wine and cold drinks in Lo Lonja. As you can see, our village has quite a few.
Meanwhile, across the street from Lo Lonja, a few children watched the “Pensionistas.” I guess they realize it will be some time before they qualify for the snacks.
JOTA DANCERS
At 6:00pm in the Pista (School play ground) the “Templanza Aragonesa,” the same group that sang in church, also sang jotas (spanish folk songs) and performed many different folk dances.
The group were really good. And they changed costumes for each dance.
