Image of Pelahustán, not of the place itself.

Patronal festival of Pelahustán held on 30 November, the feast of Saint Andrew the Apostle, with the lighting of bonfires in the streets. Historically, young men took part wearing cowbells, a custom related to the moharraches, an old winter masquerade whose memory survives today in the cencerradas and the bonfire jumps.
