The Parade and Burning of the Banana

As part of the San Pedro Apóstol Festivities in Bañaderos, the "The Parade and Burning of the Banana" is one of the most symbolic and anticipated traditions. This ceremony features a festive parade that culminates in the burning of a large banana-shaped figure made of paper, wood, and cardboard, filled with fireworks. The figure travels through the town from the main square to the beach, accompanied by music, marching bands, giant puppets, and neighbors dressed in yellow scarves.
