Festival

Rider and horse cross a bonfire during the purifying ritual of the Luminarias festival.

Each year on January 16, the eve of the festival of Saint Anthony, the town celebrates the traditional Luminarias festival.[2] Purportedly held for five centuries, the origins of the festival trace back to a ritual purification to preserve the health of the horses in the village.[3] Bonfires are lit in the central streets, and horses jump through the flames, with the smoke intended to protect the animals from disease.
