The "Romería", is a picnic style event, celebrated the last week in September just before the festivities of the Patron Saint Michael, September 29th.
This fair attracts more and more tourists from all over the world with each passing year, gathering in the town's centre during the day and continuing into the evening at the Fairgrounds up by the Bull ring

The festivals in honour of the patron saint include "La Romería de San Miguel" where more than 200.000 persons gather in the pinewoods "Los Manantiales" in a festive procession to the "Ermita" (shrine) after leaving behind a splendorous trail of joy and amusement through the town streets.
Joined by numerous carts, many of them drawn by oxen and beautifully decorated with floral motifs, they file past a Jury that judges the best decorated.
