The event ends with the Bajada del Arco (Toppling of the Arch) - getting hold of the fruits and flowers on a high, heart-shaped construction - La Cucaña (Greasy Pole) - climbing into a pole smeared with grease to get the prize at the top - , the procession with the statue of the holy apostle Peter and the sacrificial fireworks.
