Come To Padul Fiesta And Have The Time Of Your Life

Now is the week for Padul fiesta.

During these few days the population of our pueblo swells as family and friends come back "home" to enjoy the highlight of their year - The Fiesta of Padul.

This year, in 2007, the fiesta lasts from Tuesday 25th to Saturday 29th September.

Many of the shops close so that everyone can take part in the festivities. And the activities themselves are many and varied, making sure that all age groups can enjoy themselves.

One thing we have noticed whenever we visit the Fiesta of Padul is how the atmosphere is always happy and family orientated. Everyone just seems to want to have a good time, and to make sure that no-one has their time spoiled in any way. This, we think, is the reason why fiestas are so popular for the whole village.

This year's Padul fiesta is expected to be amongst the best. Hopefully we will see you there.
