San Nicolás

The fountain with San Nicolás stands in the Plaza of the Children. It was installed in 2012. San Nicolás de Bari is the protector and defender of the town; the patron saint. The sign says "Solidarity; Love for Children; Kindness; Justice." Before Christmas the fountain is joined by a Christmas tree and it is the site for collecting gifts for children whose families lack resources.
