A procession in which blessed bread rolls and traditional drinks made with wine and fruit are handed out. It is celebrated on 25 April, the feast day of the patron saint San Marcos, with a mass and the preparation of small rolls or cakes kneaded with aniseeds that the parish priest blesses. The zurra is also prepared, a drink of wine, sweetened fizzy soda and pieces of banana, apple or orange. Each year a district of the village organises the caridad, in which the residents who wish take part, and the image of the saint is carried in procession to the agricultural cooperative, where the bread rolls and the drink are handed out.
