Local festivals in Tocina
The Virgen de Fátima is usually celebrated over several days in May in Los Rosales. The pilgrimage on the first Sunday leaves Nuestra Señora de Fátima parish church after the pilgrims' mass and proceeds with the simpecado banner, decorated carts and pilgrims to La Playita; on 13 May, the parish and neighbourhood gather again around the devotion that has accompanied the settlement since its church was built.
Tocina and Los Rosales Fair
The Tocina and Los Rosales Fair is usually held from Thursday to Sunday around the first Sunday in September. The fairground hosts marquees run by local associations, rides, a parade of horses and carriages, illuminations, music and intergenerational gatherings. The Town Council, community groups and brotherhoods sustain a fair shared by both settlements.
Other events: San Benito pilgrimage
In late August, the San Benito Abad Brotherhood of Tocina and Los Rosales begins its pilgrimage to the sanctuary at Castilblanco de los Arroyos. After the pilgrims' mass, the standard is placed on its cart and the party follows a route through the municipality before setting out, with stops and meetings with other brotherhoods that strengthen ties between towns.
