Other popular festivals are Saint Antonio Abad (17th January) when animals are blessed and processions are held along the streets of the town. It’s also worth mentioning the festival of the Virgen de la Aurora (28th January) for its long history, of more than two centuries. During this festival, the Cofradía de los Auroros (a brotherhood), which is formed by farmers and men of the countryside, pray and sing early in the morning in the streets of the town until the break of dawn, a moment in which they attend the commemorative mass.
