A feast declared Fiesta de Interés Turístico Provincial (a provincial-level tourism distinction), with satirical readings from the town hall balcony. It is celebrated on the first weekend of February and consists of the reading, from the council balcony, of the Carta de Candelas, a satirical text about the cuadrilla that is the protagonist of the feast that year.
