Nerja thanks San Isidro 4
The day revolves around local farmers giving thanks to San Isidro and asking for good fortune in the coming year.
Isidore the laborer was a man born in Madrid in 1070 who was known for his compassion to animals and the poor up until his death at the age of fifty nine. He was canonized in 1622 by Pope Gregory XV and is a figure celebrated all over Spain and indeed the world from South America to the Philippines. Madrid took him to be the cities patron saint and each year puts aside the 15th of May to honor him as do many spanish cities, villages and islands.
