Patron Festivities of Santa Brígida 2025
The well-to-do, old colonial town of Santa Brígida are celebrating their Patron Saint’s festivities between 25 July – 3 August 2025. The main and oldest fiesta in the municipality is the ‘Fiesta in honour of Santa Brígida’, the Patron Saint of the Municipality. There is a Romería pilgrimage-offering organised for the first Saturday of August, and that tradition goes back to at least 1957. All the towns in the municipality will take part with floats decorated with typical motifs and pilgrims, people in traditional country dress, and plenty of street parties.
Highlights:

19:00 Pregón, proclamation in the municipal park
