Also 1,500 bagels were sold of aniseed on the first day, and the Food Bank has expanded the solidarity campaign in the Plaza de Santa María. “We are very satisfied with how the novena has gone, the Virgin has been accompanied at all times by numerous faithful,” explains the butler, Juan Carlos Fernandez Rincon.
