SUMMARY:Festivity of San Blas in Guadalest
DESCRIPTION:While the town hall of El Castell de Guadalest concentrates its efforts on the August festivals\, the Festivity of San Blas on February 3 is a beloved traditional celebration. \nIn Guardalest\, this is less of a ‘party’ and more of a community ritual centred on health and local flavours. \n\nThe Blessing – The town hall works with the Parish of Our Lady of the Assumption to schedule a mass\, usually around midday. Residents bring their rolls to be blessed by the priest.\nThe “Cure”: Eating the blessed bread is thought to protect the throat from ailments such as colds\, coughs\, and choking throughout the year.\nThe Strings: In many towns in this region\, people bring silk ribbons to be blessed\, which are then worn around the neck for nine days to ensure good health\n\nThe town hall usually hosts the specific mass time and any other small gatherings\, such as a communal snack. This information is available on the Bando Movil app and on a physical notebook outside the municipal office about 48 hours before the event.
