San Isidro draws crowds to Madrid meadow amid rain and sun

The Pradera de San Isidro marked its main day on May 15 with a brief shower followed by sun. Politicians and residents joined the traditional festivities.

The Pradera de San Isidro celebrated its main day under changing skies. A brief shower wet the carnations but quickly cleared, allowing the sun to shine on the chulapa dresses.

Mayor José Luis Martínez-Almeida attended the open-air mass led by Cardinal José Cobo. Más Madrid spokesperson Manuela Bergerot called to "work less to live better" alongside Mónica García.

Residents such as Silvia Gómez and María Ruiz emphasized pride in family tradition. Gómez wore a dress made by her grandmother and stated that "the claim for the chulapa outfit is not something fleeting".

Ayuso arrived in white at the municipal event where Almeida handed out awards and defended concord: "Madrid has never responded by building walls".
