​​THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING NAMED GAIATA OF THE CITY

The competition guidelines of the Magdalena 2022 Gaiates contest established, in its thirteenth rule, that the winning monument could be designated the 2023 edition Gaiata of the City at the discretion of the Patronato Municipal de Fiestas. And, as we all know, this enormous privilege went to “Tradició, Mite i Llegenda,” the Gaiata that Sequiol presented to the contest.
The same rule indicates that a mockup of the winning Gaiata will be made, with light and a maximum height of one meter. It will become part of the museum content of the Patronato Municipal de Fiestas -another question would be to ask ourselves why they want all these reproductions if it is not to gather dust, but “everybody is entitled to their opinion”-. The Sequiol@s took on this commitment to leave a record for posterity of their 2022 winning Gaiata and got down to work.
A large group of commissioners was shaping the model. First, the structure that supports the light and the stained glass windows. The placement of the arms and the artistic stained-glass windows gave way to the final touches (moldings, scenery, skirt, or the programming of the lighting effects). The result was a spectacular representative model of the one that will assume the honor of representing the city in the Magdalena 2023.
The work was delivered to the Patronato Municipal de Fiestas on September 12 and exhibited at the City Hall’s main entrance until September 25.
A mockup that welcomed the new Queens of the Festival for the Magdalena 2023, Selene and Alejandra, on their way to their longed-for emerald sash that would accredit them as the highest festive representatives of the city. And, very proud, posed with her, the top Sequiol representatives for the Magdalena 2023: Lucía and Carlos, Madrina and Children’s President, along with our Madrina Adriana; all accompanied by the President of the Association, Elisabeth.
The Magdalena 2023 began its journey. This edition for the Sequiol@s will be unique because our Gaiata “Tradició, Mite i Llegenda” will light up our city’s Plaza Mayor. And a young Sequiol@ will represent all the boys and girls of Castellón with her luminous and magical green sash of Children’s Queen.
Adriana, Lucía, and Carlos, sure you will enjoy it very much. Hence, it is essential that, from the first moment, you will taste every moment because they will be unique and will be stored forever in your RAM. Enjoy it very much !!!
