ARCHIVED - 29th November to 15th December, annual fiestas in honour of Santa Eulalia de Mérida in Totana
The patron saint of Totana is carried down into the town every year on 8th December
Between 29th November and 15th December Totana celebrates its annual fiestas in honour of Santa Eulalia, a statue of whom spends most of the year in the sanctuary of La Santa high above Totana in the mountains of Sierra Espuña (a glorious location with an extraordinary church!) but is carried down into Totana on 8th December for the festive season. Most of the events of the fiestas occur around that date, and she will then not return to her sanctuary until 7th January.
Throughout the fiestas there is a funfair at the Recinto Ferial, which is in the residential area of Totana in the heart of a modern urbanisation heading out towards Sierra Espuña.
Meanwhile, a Feria de Día (a daytime fair, featuring tapas bars and refreshments) is set up in the Plaza de la Constitución and there are also various events at the Auditorio Marcos Ortiz and the Cine Velasco as well as the religious occasions at the churches of Santiago El Mayor and San Roque.
The Pabellón Municipal Manuel Ibañez sports pavilion also hosts several events, other cultural activities are at the Centro Cultural La Cárcel, and there are also a number of guided routes and cultural visits, all of which require pre-booking via the tourist office. Details are given on the appropriate days. Click for tourist information office, contact them for more details if required.
Most events are free, while at the few where admission fees are specified most of the money raised is donated to local charities.
