What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Batiburrillo traces to Spain's Basque Country, introduced to San Juan Bautista in the 1920s by immigrant Sebastian Sasiain, who is also credited with creating siriki, a cocktail of 40-degree sugarcane liquor, lemon, ice and soda

02

The mystery stays covered

The chorizo sanjuanino recipe was popularized decades later, in the 1960s, by Anibal Amarilla and his wife Maria Caballero de Amarilla, giving the festival's three namesake dishes distinct, documented immigrant and local origin stories rather than generic regional fare
