Festivities of Santiago Apóstol
Between 24 and 26 September, festivities are held in honour of the Virgen de Albanchez, patron saint of the town, in whose honour young bulls are run. According to ancient tradition, they are led on foot from the spot known as El Pozo Nevazo, joining the traditional urban route that runs from the slope by the river along Calle Mesón, Santa Ana and Real streets, until reaching the bullring.
The celebration of San Antón — on 17 January — a day on which bonfires are lit, around which roasted potatoes seasoned with salt and pepper are enjoyed, and the so-called caridades de San Antón are handed out, consisting of large bread rings distributed at the parish church of San Bartolomé. On this day, since ancient times, it has been customary to walk each household's working animals around the church, as a gesture of thanksgiving to the saint for the protection he provided them with each year.
Since 1928, the residents of Onsares, a hamlet of Villarrodrigo, have held the pilgrimage of the Virgen Milagrosa on the last Sunday of May, a date suggested to the civil and religious authorities by the village's teacher, Dolores Moya Atienza, so that the village's children could make their first communion during it. Until 1953, when the current hermitage was completed, this image was venerated as the Virgen de Bayonas, a nearby, now-vanished settlement. The people of Onsares also hold further celebrations in honour of the Virgen Milagrosa in November.
