Les Feries en Lena

Introduction and local significance

Les Feries in Lena will be held this year from 8 to 13 October 2026 in La Pola. This event is a highlight on the council's festive calendar and features this year's poster entitled 'Lena bajo otra luz', created by graphic designer Daniel Conde. The promotional image for Les Feries in Lena brings together key elements of local identity, such as heritage, livestock farming, and regional culture.

Historical origins and tradition

The celebration's traditional iconography includes deep-rooted local elements that the official poster captures with a digital geometric aesthetic. Symbols representing tradition include the zamarrones (traditional masked winter figures) and regional costumes, alongside livestock and the mountains. The central focal point of this visual representation is the pre-Romanesque church of Santa Cristina de Lena, which serves as a unifying element and symbolises the gateway to the territory.

Programme and main events

The official programme for this edition will take place in La Pola from 8 to 13 October 2026, featuring references to music, folklore, and fireworks. The winning poster design also integrates the railway line and the high-speed train in connection with historical heritage. Visitors are advised to check the official channels of Ayuntamiento de Lena before travelling, as schedules and events are subject to change.
