Villamañán

Plus, every Wednesday morning and afternoon of the year nonstop there's a market in Plaza Mayor where from food to clothes and accessories can be found.

One of the most important things of these holidays are the infamous Peñas -groups of people from Villamañán or somehow related to it, who usually are friends, that get together and create "clubs" in different places of the town, under certain requirements, to celebrate these holidays-.

During Fiestas de la Zarza many events and activities for all ages such as contests, sport games and championships, etc., take place in the afternoons and evenings thanks to the peñas and to Villamañán's City Hall.

Also, every year art galleries from town show exclusive and private artwork owned and/or created by people from Villamañán for a limited time only, while Fiestas de la Zarza last.

It is also a big tradition that every evening and night during Fiestas de la Zarza different bands from all over Spain play in Plaza Mayor until the morning hours.

The big number of rides and attractions spread all over Plaza Mayor and its surroundings is also very popular during Fiestas de la Zarza, as well as the Fiestas de la Zarza inauguration, which consists on throwing fireworks and bells from the Plaza Mayor historical church's tower ringing so hard that they can be heard from anywhere in the town and a parade that goes through almost every street in Villamañán.

It's famous for the beautiful bonfire that is made at night right next to the park known as el Jardín's entrance and that various people jump off.

It is a big tradition that this day people get together, usually in el Jardín, in the late afternoon and evening to have different kinds of food and drinks that are given for free by volunteers and paid by Villamañán's City Hall.

The celebration lasts all night long and there's also a band, each year from different places from all over Spain, playing in Plaza Mayor.

A costume contest and dance is celebrated late at night, usually in the building known as el Salón Cultural, which lasts until the morning hours.
