La Candelaria
On the day dedicated to the Candelaria Virgin, the “diablos” get together in the early morning to start walking around the village. The most important moments are the procession and the face washing of San Blas
San Blas
The Diablos walk around the village in honor of San Blas. They take out his image during the procession and all the villagers and visitors alike, get a special feeling at this moment. In the afternoon, they say good bye to the fiesta. We will see them again next year.
