Festivals in Zamora

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.

An impressive celebration for its solemn and deeply religious nature, where silence is a fundamental part of its processions. The streets are filled with an atmosphere of respect and solemnity, while the most revered images of the city parade in processions full of solemnity and devotion. A unique experience that allows you to immerse yourself in the tradition and religiousness of the region that you cannot miss.

The origin of the 'toro enmaromado' festival is to be found in the context of the Corpus Christi festivity, which was celebrated in the town as far back as the 15th century, so the celebration is thought to have a religious origin.

Fairs and festivities in honour of the patron saint San Agustín, with sporting and cultural events, concerts, bullfighting festivities, children's activities, popular open-air dances, parade of peñas, grandiose and spectacular parade of floats. Joy and fun guaranteed.

This festival was born to formalise the series of sporadic performances that had been taking place year after year for decades. Wine tasting, regional dances, exhibitions, regional homemade wine competition and much more not to be missed.
