Ayuntamiento of Santander Postpones Distribution of Solidarity Roscón to Saturday

In a move to ensure the success and safety of a beloved community event, the Ayuntamiento (City Council) of Santander has announced the postponement of the distribution of the solidarity roscón, a traditional Spanish sweet bread, from its originally scheduled date to Saturday, January 4, 2025.

Reason for Postponement

The decision to delay the event was made due to inclement weather, specifically the heavy rain that has been affecting the city. The concejala (councilor) responsible for the event emphasized the importance of ensuring that the distribution can take place under optimal conditions, allowing participants to enjoy the event without the hindrance of bad weather.

The Solidarity Roscón Event

The solidarity roscón distribution is a significant annual event in Santander, aimed at supporting local social causes. On the original date, Friday, January 3, 2025, the Ayuntamiento had planned to distribute 1,200 rations of roscón. The funds raised from this event are destined to support the social work and initiatives of the city.

Additional Activities

In addition to the roscón distribution, the city has also organized other festive activities. Children can visit and deliver their letters to the "Emisarios Reales" (Royal Messengers) at the Plaza de Atarazanas, with the event scheduled to take place from 17:30 to 21:00 hours.

Community Engagement

The solidarity roscón event is a testament to the strong community spirit in Santander. Despite the weather-related setback, the city remains committed to hosting a successful and enjoyable event for all participants. The postponement to Saturday ensures that the community can come together under better conditions, reinforcing the city's tradition of solidarity and community engagement.

This event is just one of the many initiatives undertaken by the Ayuntamiento of Santander to foster a sense of community and support for local social causes, making it a significant date in the city's calendar for both locals and expats alike.
