The Panocha Festival is an outstanding tradition in the Moñitos area, which is celebrated annually during Holy Week. This regional event brings together the entire community, especially the women who are bearers of the local gastronomic tradition and are in charge of making and marketing panochas, following traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation.
During the festival, the importance of this culinary manifestation is highlighted through various programs and activities. Folkloric shows are carried out that exhibit the cultural richness of the region, highlighting music, dance and other artistic expressions. One of the highlights of the festival is the production of the largest Panocha, which seeks to break previous records and demonstrate the skills of local cooks.
In addition, the manufacture of the largest number of ears is promoted in an activity known as the "panochona". This competition brings together the women of the community in a festive and friendly atmosphere, where they work as a team to achieve the established goal.
The Panocha Festival is an opportunity to enjoy and value the local gastronomic tradition, as well as to meet and share with the Moñitos community. Panocha is an emblematic product of the region, and this event is a way to preserve and promote its cultural and culinary importance.
