Among the local celebrations, the Festivity of Las Tablas is the most outstanding, where young people slide on wooden planks down the length of the steep streets, reminding the beholder of the wood working past of this municipality. The new wine, accompanied by chestnuts, can be tasted on San Andrés Eve.
The Festivities of Christ and of the Holy Week are also important.
