The Community Association for the Development of Montecristo Island, in Tecoluca, San Vicente, will hold the second cashew festival next Sunday, showcasing a product that is emblematic of the municipality and is cultivated by locals in a part of the island spanning over 80 acres, as well as in other areas of the Bajo Lempa region.

There will be more than 20 products derived from the fruit and seed of the cashew, in addition to tourist tours. Giovanni Díaz, a representative of the association, stated that the activities on the island will begin at 9 in the morning, and tourists must arrive at the La Pita ecotourism area and board a boat that will take them to the location.

The round-trip cost is $2 per person, and during the journey over the waters of the Lempa River mouth, visitors can admire landscapes such as the Chichontepec volcano, a variety of birds, and the mangroves, added Díaz.

This year, they will hold a cashew eating contest and the election and coronation of the festival queen, with the participation of young ladies from different islands and the Bajo Lempa region.
