Entrega del bastón «Alcalde de Las Águedas» en Alcalá de Henares

The plenary hall of the Municipal Council of Alcalá de Henares was the host of the central event of the Santa Águeda holidays this Sunday, an ancient Castilian tradition where a woman receives the Bast of the Primary and has a symbolic authority of the city.

In this case, Sara García Alonso was chosen to celebrate this honor and it was the mayor of Alkalá, Judith Piquet, who handed over the baton.

The Brotherhood of Santa Águeda and the Castilian-Leon Center were the organizers of these holidays, which have been taking place in the city since 1993.

A Liturgy and a procession from Plaza de Los Santos Niones with the image of Santa Águeda preceded the Municipal Council event, said the Municipal Council.

García Alonso praised The importance of this tradition «Because, no matter how testimonial and festive it may be, it also serves to claim and value the leading role of women not only in family and neighborhood life, but also in public space.»

In this regard, The mayor expressed recognition «For the efforts, sacrifices, courage, and generosity of the women who preceded us, because today it is possible, as part of the great social and political achievements of recent decades, that we are here today taking the floor here.»
