From this small community on the Caribbean side of the San Jose valley comes Brenda Castro, the 21-year-old beauty earlier this year crowned Miss Costa Rica. Castro represented the country at the Miss Universe pageant last week.<\/p>\n
Just before Christmas, in the event that started at 8:00pm Wednesday, 22 beauties competed for the Se\u00f1orita San Jos\u00e9 (Miss San Jose) 2015 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Corobici.<\/p>\n
From the same town of Brenda Castro, Gina Mora took the crown in the fourth edition of the event formerly known as Tica Linda.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old Mora is a student of Teaching English, with an emphasis in translation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was insecure to participate in (beauty) contests. There were many beautiful women, that intimidates a little. I decided I would try. I knew I was facing a lot of very pretty women but I went with the idea of enjoying it and as a learning experience. I am clearly surprised to have won,\u201d said the new Miss San Jose.<\/p>\n
The second finalist was Fariany Guti\u00e9rrez; 20; the runner-up, Carolina Jimenez, also 20.<\/p>\n
Former Misses of the event are Natalia \u00c1lvarez (2008), Sof\u00eda Cascante (2011) and Carolina Vargas (2014). The event did not take place in 2009, 2010, 2012 and 2013.<\/p>\n
