Ángel Ríos Martínez (11-25). Spring Festivities: Blanca in Spring - after the Semana Santa - begins with a week of festivities dedicated to the patron of Saint Roche. The most characteristics of these festivities are the Coronation of the Queen and the Pilgrimage. The pilgrimage is to return the patron of the municipality from the church located in the center of the city to his own hermitage dedicated to this patron. People will bring the patron after one day to the place where he was received with jubilation and skyrockets. Twin towns Anguillara Sabazia, Italy Twinning is an act that takes place "between two people, two cultures, with the aim of bringing, joining customs, relationships, feelings ...." This could well be a definition of twinning, "gemellaggio" in Italian. In these lines Irene Molina explained years ago, in 1999, which were her impressions in the face of event occurred between Blanca and the Italian brother Anguillara Sabazia. In the late 20th century, Blanca had the idea of twinning a distant Italian town Italian located about thirty miles from Rome, called Anguillara Sabazia. This village was a similar to Blanca as to its structure, its climate, its importance of water and a landscape represented by a lake in Anguillara (Bracciano) and the river (Segura) in the municipality of Blanca. In the last month of August, 1998 twinning began between Anguillara and Blanca, with the arrival of a representation of "anguilarillos" to Blanca. A representation of fifty-five inhabitants of Blanca traveled on 4 May 1998 to Italy for visiting Anguillara and for consolidating the twinning. References (1) Ríos Martínez, Ángel (1999).
