Las Pitanzas de Librilla

Activity · Librilla, Bajo Guadalentín, Murcia

Las Pitanzas de Librilla, a tradition unique at regional and national level in which loaves of about 200 grams are thrown by the thousand from the balconies of the town hall every 22 August. The event, of medieval origin, commemorates a great drought that once struck the whole Guadalentín valley, and is part of the patron saint festivities of San Bartolomé (Saint Bartholomew), held from 18 to 24 August.
