Feria de Antas
Last weekend it was the second fiesta in Antas, the Fería de Antas, held in honour of the patron saint of Antas, the Virgen de la Cabeza. The fiesta usually starts with the romería, a procession from the town with the virgin’s statue all the way to the hermitage or small chapel, on the hill just outside Antas. There are also many tractor-drawn floats decorated in different ways, floral or with a specific theme. At the top there is a religious service and then all around the picnic site the groups that came up on floats, and anyone else that came up by car, enjoy a picnic or buy a portion of paella, costing €1. However this year, the romería was cancelled due to extreme weather warnings. As it turned out, the weather was not as bad as forecast, but nonetheless it was not a very bright day for a picnic.
