The vow to the Cristo de la Esperanza

Historical milestone · Villoruela, Las Villas, Salamanca

Image of Villoruela, not of the place itself.

After the great hailstorms of 29 May 1799, and fearing for the harvests, the residents carried the Cristo de la Esperanza in procession for the first time; since then the village has kept that day as a votive festival.
