Overview
- The pedrea, which took place Sunday after mass and a procession for Santo Toribio, drew hundreds to the Cristo del Otero to catch bags of bread and soft cheese.
- Organizers tossed 4,500 small bags from the hermitage balcony to the crowd at the monument's base.
- Another 2,100 bags went to local schools so children could join the tradition.
- A stall at the foot of the Cristo offered 3,500 more bags for €1.50 each, according to El Norte de Castilla.
- Representatives from city institutions and the Cristo neighborhood association took part in the toss as sunny weather encouraged strong turnout.
