Introduction and local significance

The Feria y Fiestas San Roque en Dos Torres are held from 13 to 18 August 2026. This patron saint festival is dedicated to San Roque and brings together residents and visitors in this municipality located in the province of Córdoba. The festive days structure their activity around local traditions and devotion to the patron saint, offering an opportunity to discover the deeply rooted customs of the locality.

Historical origins and tradition

San Roque is the Patron Saint of Dos Torres, forming the core identity of these celebrations. Among the most representative elements of the tradition are the carpets that young people create in honour of San Roque, designed to fill the patron's procession through the municipality's streets with light and colour. Likewise, the festive programme includes deeply rooted bullfighting events. Particularly noteworthy are the ancient and traditional running of the bulls through the typical streets of the village, where local youths run alongside them and perform dodges and cuts with astonishing and stoic ease, unlike anywhere else in the region.

Programme and main events

The development of the Feria y Fiestas San Roque en Dos Torres is articulated through the institutional and festive events scheduled for this edition. The main events that draw the largest crowds are the traditional bull runs through the town centre and the procession of the patron saint over the handmade carpets crafted by local youth. Given that the programme is subject to change, it is advisable to check the official channels of the Ayuntamiento de Dos Torres before attending the scheduled events.

Traditional festival food

The culinary offering available during the festival days allows visitors to enjoy the local hospitality and the municipality's establishments. Although the context does not specify concrete recipes associated with the festival of San Roque, a stay in the locality invites you to discover the traditional products of the area. The bars and dining spaces open during these dates complement the traveller's festive experience in the municipality.

Visitor guide and where to stay

It is advisable to book accommodation in advance for the dates of the festival, as staying in the municipality itself or in nearby towns makes it easier to follow the evening events. On the days with the highest turnout, it is preferable to use public transport or park outside the centre to avoid traffic problems. Before travelling, check the official programme: schedules and events may change according to the organisation's instructions.
