The city of Vila-real has commemorated today the feast of Saint Christopher, patron saint of drivers and transporters, with a parade that gathered nearly forty vehicles through the municipality.

The procession began its route through the town's streets, led by a vehicle from the Public Services Department, which carried the image of the saint. During the event, several representatives of the municipal corporation presented a city flag to the participants before the start of the journey.
The final destination of the parade was the Termet area. There, the traditional blessing of the trucks and other participating vehicles took place, followed by a commemorative mass in honor of the patron saint.
This celebration was organized by the Vila-real transport collective, with the collaboration of the City Council for the development of the scheduled activities.
