Festival held in the second week of August in Herreruela de Oropesa, in memory of the residents who emigrated from the village, many of them to Blanes, in Girona, in search of work in industrialised areas. As it coincides with summer and often with the feast of the Virgen de la Paloma, it is the most crowded festival of the year, with open-air dances, games for children and adults, sports competitions, regional dances and a cavalcade in which women living outside the village take part as queen and maids of honour. It ends the following Tuesday with a communal dinner at the municipal sports centre.
