For a month and a half San Juan del Sur celebrates it's Patron Saint St. John the baptist.  I don't know if he intended to leave this legacy but we are all glad it turned into a beautiful and colorful cultural party.  One of the many components of the festival is a competition between neighborhoods of a legend called the gigantona (gigantic lady).  A small bigheaded midget fell in love with her and they ended up together and happy.  Two neighborhoods battle it out for bragging rights every year.  This year it was between barrio La Cascabela (green) and barrio Chamorro (multi-colored).
