Worth mentioning is the ritual with which Garcíez celebrates the festivities of its patron saint, San Marcos, held between 23 and 26 April, in which the saint is carried in procession to the outskirts of the town so that he may bless the fields and bring water for the harvests. During these days, a dish of dried broad beans is prepared, and the so-called "roscos de San Marcos" are made, to be handed out among residents after the procession. Until 1977, the year in which the Marquis of Viana sold all the land within the district of Garcíez, it was he who covered the cost of the dried broad beans, oil and flour for the roscos, as well as the firewood for cooking. These San Marcos festivities end on the 26th, when the figure popularly known as the Señor de las Injurias is carried in procession.
