Discover La Lastrilla: History, Festivals and Trails

The Las Zumaqueras archaeological site preserves the remains of a Bronze Age settlement dating to approximately 1200 BC. La Lastrilla was first mentioned by this name in 1247 in an ecclesiastical document. The Church of San Juan Bautista houses historic sculptures as well as an oil painting from the 17th century.

Near La Lastrilla lies the Fuente de San Frutos, which historically supplied the town's residents with water. For your own planning, the various historical references can be deliberately considered separately: an archaeological site, an ecclesiastical testimony, works of art and a spring each provide their own focus. If you would like to combine several interests, each of these points can serve as an independent focus alongside other activities.

A special local destination is Cervecera Octavo Arte in La Lastrilla. Guided tours of the facilities are offered there, along with a tasting of four of their beers. In your personal daily itinerary, the visit can be treated as a separate activity alongside historic sites or events, without requiring both themes to be part of the same experience.

Culture

The 921 Distrito Musical programme brings concerts and other performing arts activities for a general audience to changing venues in La Lastrilla. The cultural calendar also includes San Isidro, which is celebrated in La Lastrilla from Friday the 15th to Sunday the 17th of May. The San Juan festivities in La Lastrilla last eight days and include music, vermouth, games and traditions.

This results in different time formats for planning your trip: a fixed date, a multi-day festival and events at changing venues each require separate consideration. If you do not want to structure your days around a single theme, you can include cultural history, music and tradition as separate focuses.

Trails

The first stage of the Camino de San Frutos reaches La Lastrilla and then continues towards Espirdo and Tizneros. This first stage is 11.8 kilometres long. In La Lastrilla, the Camino de San Frutos has an information board and a signpost indicating the continuation of the route.

The stage length, the further route described and the two orientation points provide different details for personal preparation. You can consider the distance, direction and continuation of the route separately when planning your day around a specific stretch.

Metropolitan bus route M4 runs between La Lastrilla and Azoguejo.

When comparing a holiday apartment in La Lastrilla, you can first compare travel dates, room category and cancellation conditions on the respective listing pages. This information is part of your individual planning and can be considered separately from historic sites, fixed festival dates and the route.
