San Pedro and San Pablo and El Curpillos in Burgos

Usual date and duration. The major festivals of San Pedro and San Pablo take place around 29 June and occupy approximately a week between the end of June and the beginning of July. Another event of its own is El Curpillos, the Friday following Corpus Christi: it combines a religious and military ceremony in the morning next to the Monastery of Las Huelgas with a subsequent popular tour.

Traditions and participation. The offering, the dancers, Tetines, Gigantones and Gigantillos and the activity of peñas, sashes and blouses give identity to both celebrations. The City Council, civil, religious and military authorities, cultural entities, clubs and citizens participate.
