This festival takes place on 16 August to celebrate the feast of San Roque (‘Saint Roch’). It has a secular tradition and a procession in which the saint is carried from the parish church to its chapel. At first it was merely religious, but when some percussion bands from Pamplona were participating in 1978, a heat wave made the neighbours throw water to the people who were taking part. Since then, devotion, prayer and respect share the event with fun and spontaneity. The number of visitors has grown over the years and it was declared a Festival of National Tourist Interest in 2006.
