Festival and regional holidays occupy a relevant place between the annual traditions of Castilla-La Mancha. Some of those festivals are purely religious and some other have such remote origins that they take us to the pagan traditions from the first Spanish villages. Often, these origins are covered by Christian influences and the result is an explosion of color, popular joy, dances, typical costumes kept for the occasion. Basically, they are a renew tradition from centuries ago and that changes year by year.

There is no single town or village in this millennial Castille without its characteristic festival. Castille has been adorned by cultural crosses which have settled particular customs and different ways of life. There are even some places where its standing-out festivals are followed one after the other along the different dates and periods of the year, without a single pause.
