recreation of the Moseten . In each community celebrations are organized
twice a year:
One of them in memory of their Patron Saint, celebration where other
communities are involved and also with the presence of the catholic
priest meanwhile the other celebration that has more deep ethnical
roots is called "nuestra fiesta" by natives, like Santa
