A quick look at our main annual events here in San Miguel de Salinas.

Fiestas and Celebrations are highlights of the social calendar not only for the community but particularly for our visitors. And we know those visitors want the information...they make this page of our website the 4th most hit one...in the last week we have had visitors from as far a field as Uruguay, Philippines, and Mongolia and of course, every country in Europe, and we get as many email enquiries to match.

So whilst we can give you neither exact dates nor a definitive programme we are going to give you a run down of the main celebrations for 2006.

We work closely with our Concejalía de Fiestas y Turismo Inma Hernández and here's our promises ...firstly you will always find the published programme here before anywhere else...and two, you can be sure of a great time in San Miguel de Salinas during our special events.

If you missed The Fiesta of our Patron Saint it's a shame...have a look at our Albums
2006 September Website Album
2007 September Patron's Fiesta Album

We don't just promote events that are going on in the pueblo - if you tell us about events anywhere in the municipality they can appear here...this page is now one of the most frequently visited!
