Festival of Comilla, with donkey races and bagpipes

On my last visit to Comillas, it happened to be the Feast of the Santo Cristo del Amparo , an event held every year and this year it was held on the 15,16 and July 17, of the year 2010. They are a parties and celebrated by comillanos, and a lot of things are organized such as the donkey race, log cutting contest giant bagpipe contest Cantabrian side football tournament, dessert contest , etc ... City Council also organizes workshops Comillas puppets for children,Cantabrian market,big heads parade, fireworks, dances, musical performances from bagpipes, etc ... And for the more fussy on Saturday 11th they organized a popular meal with sardines and chorizada and Monday 12th popular hot chocolate.

The act that opens the festival is the hoisting of Labarum Cantabrian and the 2 acts that most unites all comillanos is the descent of the Holy Christ of the Shelter from the parish church of San Cristobal to the pier and pier to the church always accompanied by a group of pipers.
