Festivals in Ávila

On the 1st of January, Palencia celebrates the traditional Baptism of the Child, a procession that has become an ancestral custom, with more than five centuries of history, where the amusing pedrea of sweets and candies takes place.

In Riofrío de Aliste they enjoy the New Year in a different way, with the tradition of Los Carochos, a ritual as strange as fun that you have to see, at least once in your life.

Every 5th January you can enjoy the Three Kings Parade in Santillana del Mar, an experience where all those attending will witness an authentic journey into the past.

The Three Kings Parade in Alcoy is one of the oldest in the country, and one of the most special. In this parade the royal pages go up to the balconies to leave the presents, a real spectacle!

Pingüinos is the most radical motorcycle rally in Europe, with freezing temperatures that are compensated by a lively atmosphere with tastings, concerts, excursions and even a Guinness record. Don't miss it!
