The official start of the festivities features a prominent moment at the beginning of the calendar organised by the town council. The giants' troupe will launch the chupinazo (opening rocket) announcing the 2026 Fiestas de San Pedro, kicking off the coming days. Among the attractions of the programme is a special festival raffle that includes a main prize of €1,000 for ticket number 2648 (with reserves on 3992 and 3724) and a prize of €500 for ticket number 1045 (with reserves on 4402 and 2996). Given that the detailed official programme can be consulted on the town council's channels, it is recommended to check the specific schedules for each day.
