Spanish term or phrase: Como curiosas podríamos destacar

Como curiosas podríamos destacar el 13 de Junio la Fiesta de la Caridad en Beteta donde se reparten pan y vino a todos los que quieran asistir.

Is "curiosas" meaning "onlookers" or something similar here?

Thank you

This helped - I have now translated it as: "For something a bit different we would recommend the Fiesta de La Caridad on the 13th June, where they hand out bread and wine to all those who attend."

Thanks again!

Grading comment

35 mins confidence:

we can particularly mention

Explanation:
curioso not only means strange but can also mean something that is well or meticulously done; e.g., someone can be curiosa/o in the way they arrange their books, make their beds ... Not that this has much bearing on the text.

As peculiarities we could mention

Explanation:
It could also be "as oddities we could highlight", but the sense is an odd, peculiar characteristic of the region.
