To choose the towns that can take part, organizers typically look for populations between five thousand and ten thousand residents. Towns wishing to participate must submit details about their locality, a short video, and a compelling explanation of why they should be selected. From all proposals, eight municipalities are drawn by lot in the presence of a notary, and Los Montesinos was fortunate enough to be chosen.
