Every year, artists from all over the country show their amazing radish sculptures. The artists work very hard, since the winner receives money and becomes champion. On the day, locals and tourists line up starting in the afternoon to see the sculptures. More than one hundred years ago, there was a market on December 23 called la Vigila de Navidad.
