Despite the protest marches, the celebrations for the patronal festival of San Fabián and San Sebastián in Huancavelica did not stop happening.
After carrying out the traditional preparations, such as the arrival of bands or the “albazo”, as every January 20, the two litters of the saint were taken out in procession through the streets of downtown Huancavelica.
The traditional small anda, known as “Killy” also went out in procession, always with the hundreds of coins with which it is decorated.
