The Smoke Procession <\/h2>\n

The Smoke Procession is an event celebrated on the last Sunday in November in the town of Arnedillo. In 2013 the Smoke Procession was declared an event of Regional Touristic Interest.<\/p>\n

This tradition begun in 1888 in the Riojan town of Arnedillo when a severe epidemic of black pox caused a rising number of deaths and forced the local population to seek out refuge in faith.<\/p>\n

They lit a candle to each and every venerated saint in the town where the last candle to burn out would indicate the saint to be hailed in procession, this turned out to be Saint Andr\u00e9s, protector of health.<\/p>\n

They started bonfires in the streets and squares of the town, burning rosemary for its sanitizing qualities and paraded Saint Andr\u00e9s, which caused the epidemic to diminish. Ever since, the town celebrates the Smoke Procession in remembrance of their ancestors.<\/p>\n

The tradition started in 1888 in honor of the Saint who, it is believed, pleaded in favor of Arnedillo when the black pox devastated the town. In memory of this time, the locals burn rosemary and juniper in the streets, as was done at the time of the plague to disinfect the area. In the morning, bonfires are started in the proximity of the church. Later the procession celebrates San Andr\u00e9s amidst a thick and fragrant smoke, and lastly in High Mass, the local artisanal products are blessed and later auctioned off by the Brotherhood of San Andr\u00e9s. The tradition was declared of regional touristic interest.<\/p>\n
