Festivals and Traditions

The festivities in honour of San Blas take place in Larrodrigo on 3 February. Larrodrigo’s patron saint celebrations take place around 29 June, the feast day of San Pedro Apóstol, the town’s patron saint.

A contract issued by the Province of Salamanca in 2023 covered traditional music for the celebrations of San Blas and Santa Águeda in Larrodrigo. During the San Blas celebrations in February 2023, a procession took place through the town, accompanied by charanga music.

The Santa Águeda celebrations in Larrodrigo in February 2023 included a communal meal. To conclude the celebrations in Larrodrigo, patatas meneadas were distributed throughout the town in February 2023.

You can weigh the dates and forms of the celebrations separately for your planning if you would like to set different priorities. You can consider the date-related aspect and the thematic connection to the town independently of one another.

Landscape and Routes

Larrodrigo is situated in a still largely flat landscape. The first foothills of the Sierra de la Paramera are near Larrodrigo. Larrodrigo is close to the first dehesa areas, which are characteristic of nearby Horcajo-Medianero, for example.

The Dehesa Gallego de Crespes in Larrodrigo belongs to an area considered an ecological and regenerative reserve. A geosignposted route of almost 80 kilometres leads from the Larrodrigo area to Piedrahita in Ávila.

For your planning, you can organise the landscape, natural environment and route-related aspects in separate notes. The three perspectives do not have to occupy the same amount of space in your daily itinerary. This allows the different spatial scales to be placed side by side without combining them into a single focus.
