What
does being named Manantero Ejemplar Easter?
Besides a great illusion, is a huge responsibility,
because the Manantero Ejemplar is an important figure of Easter. Represents be

live differently this time while maintaining the essence of Easter. It has
given me much since I noticed the rich cultural heritage of Puente Genil.
How
important is Easter to you?
It is very important to me because Easter is the most
important event held in Puente Genil, not only from a religious point of view
but also from a cultural and historical. The guilds and corporations Puente
Genil cores authentic tradition, singing, poetry, share feelings, wine culture,
etc. For me, it is the most important event and intensely alive. And more from
the music side, since it is attached to my profession.

can you invite people to know the Holy Week of Puente Genil?
All people who have interest in understanding a
culture and way of living differently, would invite him to come to Puente Genil
at Easter because our people do not disappoint anyone. People will find new
