In here, the festivity begins on Palm Sunday, prior to Easter Sunday. It has always been a tradition to go out with friends and enjoy the day making plans for Holy Week and Easter. A typical thing to do is to fill a basket with local products for an afternoon snack. You can not miss the “mona de pascua”, typical local sausages, firecrackers and chocolate bunny.Lots of people buy new clothes or a new accessory for these days because there is a saying in Gata that says; “On Palm Sunday, whoever doesn’t wear new clothes, has no hands.“
