Diriomo

Located on a plateau near the Mombacho Volcano, Diriomo is part of the "Bewitched Villages". The religious fervor of its inhabitants changes the calm ambiance of the urban center and 25 rural communities. These festivities are held each February 2nd in honor of the 'Virgen de La Candelaria', with traditional dances, processions and sweets.
