Another generation told me that they no longer did these kinds of walks. This
generation commented me that the boys took advantage of any celebration to show who
was the girl they most liked. For one of the participants, it was in one of the afternoon
carnival snacks, which was customary to do in a different house each year. A special
afternoon snack was prepared, with tortilla, desserts and some another things to get the
girls to come and celebrate the carnival. She remembers how during one of these
afternoon snacks she suddenly saw boys enter. She was surprised because up until then
only women had gotten together, but someone had left the door open and the boys took
advantage of this and entered. That day was when a boy, who would later became her
husband, told her for the first time that he liked her. from that first moment followed
some letters and outings in large groups to Burgos to dance, until the engagement day
arrived and the wedding was prepared.
