The ladybug of Jonquer
The symbol of the Jonquer neighborhood - which is located behind the old Jonquer farmhouse at the foot of the road leading to the Vall de Llémena - is a ladybug. The patron saint of the neighborhood is Saint Isidre the farmer, since a good part of the original residents come from farming families, and the ladybug would accompany the landscape of the farmlands, while also being an indicator of biodiversity. The Jonquer neighborhood festival committee, together with some neighbors, inaugurated the ladybug parade in May 1986, and every year there is a walk through the Jonquer neighborhood during the Saint Isidre festivities, around May 15th.
