Navacepeda de Tormes

Navacepeda de Tormes is a Spanish hamlet which belongs to the municipality San Juan de Gredos.

Consequently it is located in the province Ávila and in the autonomous community Castile and León.

[1] This administrative division was historically an independent municipality, but since 1975 it has been part of San Juan de Gredos.

[2] One notable element in this locality is a church consecrated to Virgen de la Antigua, which is a version of Mary, mother of Jesus.

It is held on 1 May and it is named "El día de rodar el huevo" (the day when rolling eggs) because a tradition of this festive day is rolling eggs that have got the maroon colour because they have previously been boiled with rubia roots.
