Vera information

Carnival

Around the end of February or the beginning of March, depending on what day they fall on, the carnival parades with their disguises and their popular Street music take place. They represent parodies of the daily events that happen in town, and give us a sort of idea of local life. The popular masks, disguises and costumes bring the streets of Vera alive.


The public holiday and Feast Day, called: "El Día de la Vieja"

This day is a very traditional holiday with old customs. It is celebrated on exactly the Thursday which coincides with the middle of the fascinating period. Families and friends go to the country-side to have a pick-nick or lunch, and at sunset a doll made of colorful paper, and whose head is full of sweets and candy, is broken and torn into pieces. This paper doll is called "La Vieja", ("The old one"). It's a traditional Feast Day.


Easter Week

The highlights of the Easter Week in Vera are: The special event on Sunday before Palm Sunday, which indicates the beginning of the Easter Week, and also the processions and pilgrimages, in which the figures of the Virgen "Vurgen de las Angustias" and of Christ "El Nazareno" are carried to the church. When the Easter processions have finished, the religious figures or shrines are taken back to their respective church or chapel on Good Friday.


Celebrations in honour of the Patroness

In honour of the Patroness: "Virgen de las Angustias" whose Feast Day is on 10th June, and in honour to the Patron: "San Cleofás" celebrations and fairs take place in the last week of September, offering theatre performance (on 25th September), a special Parade with costumes representing "Muslims" and "Christians", the Cattle Fair, and many other different events.

A great number of catholic people gather on the first Sunday in September, in order to celebrate the pilgrimage in honour of the Patroness called: "Virgen de las Huertas".
