At the beginning of the 20th century mining began in El Callo, so immigrants began arriving from places such as Trinidad and Tobago, Curacao, Brazil, Holland... Granada... who came to combine their culture with the people of the area... a unique mixture that would have exploded in 1914 with a parade of regional tourist interest that today is the best known.
In the stand out several characters such as the Madamas... are the ladies of the parade... ladies dressed in huge vestments with jewelry and handkerchiefs in their hair... the Fantasies in the Brazilian style... and the half-pints... boys painted in black oil... that if you do not give them half (coin) paint you. of Calipso and color.
