The Lanzones FestivalThe Lanzones Festival celebrates the annual harvest of the lanzones fruit. Houses, carriages, street poles and even people are decorated with lanzones and lanzones leaves. Townsfolk dance in joy, abandon in commemoration of the legend that a beautiful, unknown maiden took from lanzones fruit its former bitter flavor to leave only its luscious, sweet taste. Enough wise words - let's fiesta! Click on the videoclips to listen and see the people dancing. |

| How to eat Lanzones? Simply squeeze the ripe fruit. The skin will pop up and offer you its silvery content. You then can peel them out. There is usually only one bit that contains a seed. Do not eat it. | |
