He explained that on the 17th will be the gala with all the participating raicilleros and the presentation of a promotional video that was documented from previous editions with stories from the producers. He added that the traditional and artisan elaboration of the raicilla are elements that make it belong to the cultural patrimony of the state and the institute in his charge is committed to promoting and protecting this patrimony.

He thanked the municipal government of Puerto Vallarta and the Vallartense Institute of Culture for continuing to promote and preserve this legacy, which also represents an opportunity for visitors to interact with artisan producers and learn about the process of this traditional drink.
