SAN ANTONIO DE PADUA

A great parade of decorated floats from all over town, along with musical groups, folklore groups and pilgrims, all go to make up this pilgrimage, held every year on the 13th of June. There are two kinds of events: religious services and popular festivities. The former include the procession of San Antonio, masses, in which the population make requests for both the living and the dead, and a fireworks display in tribute to the Saint. The latter events include a fine folklore festival, an art festival and sporting events organised by the town council and the Fiestas Committee.
