You'll begin to learn the history and traditions of the Silleteros dating back generations and generations. They'll provide you with a demonstration of how to make a traditional Silleta (the flower arrangement built on a wooden base and worn on their backs), and you'll get to create your own and become a Silletero, if only for a brief moment.
