Fiestas Patronales


They are celebrated in the first week of September, in honor of the Virgin of the Rosary, Virgin of the Desamparados and the Sacred Heart.

It was the Dominican monks who spread the devotion to the Virgin of the Rosary. As a sign of affection, many devotees have left as a garment of adornment various jewels and jewelry that adorn this virgin, a fact that can be better appreciated when it is taken out in procession as many of these gifts are attached to its mantle.
The festivity of the Virgen de los Desamparados takes place on the second Sunday in May, but in La Alqueria, in the hamlet of Montanejos, as in many towns, it is celebrated in its August celebrations, with solemn mass and procession of the patron saint.
During this festive week there are also numerous events among which the processions, the heifers, the bulls, the embolado bull and the festivals stand out.
