Practical tips

  • Book activities that require it as soon as slots open.
  • Plan a compact route (historic centre + La Vega + Ventanielles) and allow time between events.
  • Wear comfortable shoes and bring a power bank; many events are itinerant or outdoors.
  • For San Pelayo: orderly queues and silence during prayers; entry until full capacity.

* Information subject to last-minute changes by organisers or weather conditions.
