The main festivity of the Village in honour to the Virgin of Las Nieves takes place in August, 5th. The image of the Virgin is in the hermitage located in Las Nieves’ Port. The picture is there the whole year, with the exception of the days between the 5th and 17th of August when it goes to the Parish of La Concepción, in the centre of the Village. The Festivity of the Slope of the Branch (Bajada de la Rama) takes place on August, 4th, where thousands of dancers dance to the rhythm of one of the two bands in the municipality, leave from the upper part of the town to catch pieces of branches and then to dance with them to the sanctuary of Las Nieves’ Virgin in the port. The festival cortege goes headed by some Bigheaded figures or papagüevos, made out of cardboard and that represent popular characters of the town. These ones dance rotating and with big cloth hands, they push their way through the crowd opening up space for them to walk and dance. This Festivity was declared of National Tourist Interest in 1972.
