Local festivals in San Martín del Rey Aurelio

The council's festive calendar is shared among Sotrondio, L'Entregu/El Entrego, Blimea, Santa Bárbara and its rural communities, with summer festivals and food celebrations associated with individual parishes.

Usual celebration

Les Cebolles Rellenes is usually celebrated over several days around San Andrés on 30 November in the streets and squares of L'Entregu. Bars, cider houses and restaurants serve stuffed onions, while local associations and hospitality businesses collaborate on cultural and festive events. El Entrego also holds La Laguna in July; Sotrondio hosts the San Martín festivities and Los Nabos food festival in November, while Blimea celebrates Las Nieves in August and Los Pimientos Rellenos in December.

Local public holidays in 2026

The Town Council sets 17 February, Carnival, for the whole municipality. In addition, 11 November, San Martín and Los Nabos, is a local public holiday in the parishes of San Martín, Santa Bárbara and Blimea; and 30 November, San Andrés and Les Cebolles, applies in San Andrés, L'Entregu and Cocañín in the Güeria valley. The parish scope of these last two dates is essential: they are not three council-wide holidays.
