The festivities of the Assumption Activity · La Mata de Ledesma, Tierra de Ledesma, Salamanca Image of La Mata de Ledesma, not of the place itself. The patron saint is the Virgin of the Assumption and her festivals run from 13 to 16 August, with solemn mass on the main day; these are the days when the municipality, of fewer than a hundred households, briefly recovers the life of other times.
