Fiestas patronales de la Virgen 2023 – Santa Maria de Guía

Santa Maria de Guía is celebrating the Patron Saint’s festivities of the Virgen between 29 July – 20 August 2023.

The Patron Saint Fiestas in honour of the Virgin of Guía take place during the first fortnight in August, with the most important date on the calendar being the 15th. The morning sees the procession, while in the afternoon it is the turn for the Battle of the Flowers. The fiestas include a good number of cultural events, the highlight of which are the passacaglias (street parades) featuring “papagüevos” (over-sized papier-mache models who are the authentic protagonists during festivities), the parade of floats, and the afore-mentioned Battle of the Flowers.
