Feria de la Manzana Reineta del Valle de las Caderechas en Cantabrana

Introduction and local significance

The Feria de la Manzana Reineta del Valle de las Caderechas en Cantabrana is held this year on 11 October 2026. This single-subject event pays tribute to the native apple variety with a quality guarantee mark from the Burgos region. In its fifteenth edition, the event brings together eight producers of this fruit and twenty-three agri-food stalls from Castilla y León, Euskadi, La Rioja and Cantabria.

Historical origins and tradition

The gathering was established in 2011 with the aim of highlighting the local Reineta apple and its connection to the rural environment of the province of Burgos. The day stands out for the special decoration that adorns the municipality during the event, giving a distinct visual identity to the autumn celebration. Local culture also has a place through the regular presence of creators from the area.
