What happens every day.
This does not depend on the day: the rides open all five, the music goes down at the same time and the daytime fair is in the town centre.
The quiet slot
Every day, from 19:00 to 21:00, the fairground turns the music down so people with functional, hearing and sensory diversity can enjoy the rides.
The daytime fair
In the town centre and at the Balcón de Europa: children’s activities and local groups performing.
The programme, day by day.
Everything the Town Council has published, in order. Everything is free entry. Tap a day on the ribbon to jump to it.

And the quiet slot
Every day, from 19:00 to 21:00, the fairground turns the music down so people with functional, hearing and sensory diversity can enjoy the rides. The Fiesta Mayor department asked for it to make the fair more accessible.
Getting there and where everything is.
The fair takes up two places: the fairground, where the rides are, and the town centre --Plaza de España and the Balcón de Europa--, where the opening speech, the concerts and the daytime fair are.
