Many residents of the town attend, particularly those from the San Antonio neighbourhood, also known as 'Meninas', who honour their patron saint on this occasion. A procession carrying the icon of the saint then goes around the chapel. Hot chocolate and aniseed are enjoyed, and everyone called Antonio is congratulated. Women sing songs in honour of the saint, and unmarried women ask San Antonio for a boyfriend.
