         <description><![CDATA[<p>In my hometown, Líbano, Tolima, there is a tradition called “Las Fiestas del Retorno.” This celebration is held every four years and it lasts for eight days. <strong>This tradition is celebrated in the central park, where parades, horse rides, concerts, and gastronomy are offered.</strong> It is a reunion festival, because people who once lived in Líbano come back to share with their community.</p><p><br/></p><p>During the last celebration, <strong>more than one thousand jobs were created and many tourists were attracted to the town.</strong> <strong>The festival was organized by the local government together with cultural groups.</strong> Thanks to this event, the local economy was greatly improved, and people’s cultural identity was strengthened.</p><p><br/></p><p><strong>The festival is considered one of the most important traditions of the region, and it is expected with great enthusiasm.</strong> Personally, it has shaped my identity because it has taught me the value of community, cultural memory, and intercultural exchange.
