The pilgrimage of the Virgen de la Victoria takes place on the last Sunday of May, when the venerated Image is once again taken up to her hermitage, accompanied by pilgrims dressed in traditional costume. The image of the Virgin is carried on an ox-cart, with pilgrims walking alongside or riding in floats decorated with floral themes and various other decorations.

During the parade of floats, the atmosphere is festive and joyful: songs are sung, cheese and ham are enjoyed, and rebujito is drunk. Once at La Peña, a solemn Mass is held. Once the religious events are over, there are drinks stalls, and the people of Martos scatter to eat at the various spots set up for that purpose around the hermitage. Young people set up their own tents for shade and to stay together, eating and drinking in fellowship. This forms part of the more secular celebration accompanying the pilgrimage.

A festival in which residents from different neighbourhoods light bonfires all across Marmolejo. 

On 19 March. The importance of the timber industry is felt during the celebration of the feast of San José, patron saint of carpenters, when a monumental falla in the Valencian style is erected in his honour. This festival has been designated of Regional Tourist Interest since 2000. Criticism, humour and irony feature in every one of the sculptures.

This tradition dates back to 1982 (although there have been 40 editions, since it was not held during the two pandemic years) and pays tribute to the once-powerful timber and carpentry trade in Mancha Real.

It's worth remembering that the town was once home to close to a hundred timber companies, employing more than 1,300 people. The trade's contribution to GDP accounted for 54% of the entire local economy, placing Mancha Real among the top towns in the country in terms of per capita income.

Furniture from Mancha Real was sold in countries as far afield as Russia, Japan, Argentina and Puerto Rico. Now, the sector is beginning to regain the momentum it lost over a decade ago.

The Pilgrimage, which has no fixed date, is held over one weekend. Townspeople climb up to the hermitage and camp there for the whole weekend around the sanctuary of the Virgin, to keep her company. On Saturday, Mass is held at the sanctuary, attended by all the pilgrims. On Sunday, the image is moved from the Sanctuary to the town's Church. Once the Pilgrimage is over, in the following days, the Fair is held around 7 October, the feast of the Virgen del Rosario. During these days, there's no shortage of the morning “diana” wake-up call, nor of a wide range of rides and attractions for young and old alike.

Held since the 17th century, on the night of 1 February, around the traditional “candelas” made from olive-tree prunings, organised by each group of neighbours in their own district. Alongside these bonfires, there are games, songs and dances.

Fiesta Mayor, Fiesta Real or Feria Grande are all names referring to the same celebration: the Feria de los Cristos which, after several changes of date decided by public vote, is now held on the second-to-last Sunday of August. In Lopera, two crucified Christs are venerated: that of the Vera Cruz, known as the Cristo Grande, and that of the Humilladero, known as the Cristo Chico — names referring to the size of the two carved images. On the Sunday, the image of the Cristo Grande is carried in procession, the first to receive worship, whose brotherhood dates back to the 16th century; the following day comes the dawn celebration of the Cristo Chico, marked by rounds of blank shots fired at daybreak by the brotherhood's members. The religious festival closes on the Tuesday with the procession of the image of the Cristo del Humilladero, accompanied by its ceremonial guard, founded in the 18th century. Among this town's festivities — known for its amontillado wine — highlights include the greyhound race (a once-lost tradition now revived), the fighting of two young bulls each day, whose meat is sampled on the last day of the festival on the Paseo de Colón, and the lively atmosphere at the Caseta Municipal, where an open-air dance runs into the early hours.

The saint was named patron of Lopera in 1644. The festivities are held between 14 and 16 August, with the 16th as the main day. This day begins with a grand wake-up call performed by the Drum and Bugle Band. At the parish church, a religious service is held in honour of the patron saint, along with the blessing of bread rings to be handed out among the faithful. But what stands out most is that children light San Roque's way with lanterns made from watermelons and melons, previously hollowed out.

With dances and stalls held over several days.
