The city is characterized by its material and intangible culture, architecture, music, visual arts, dance, theater and history. The African influence has been very pronounced in the population since the first years of misrepresentation.

Traditional Trinitarian festivals are linked to our history: we celebrate Cultural Week in January, which coincides with the date of the town's founding.

Later, Holy Week or Good Friday with the procession of the cross, which the locals expect with much joy.
