There are activities and events in August in Montanejos for all tastes: concerts, theater, workshops, outdoor cinema, contests and the classic bingos every night. But without a doubt, the most anticipated moments are, on the one hand, the Festivals of La Alquería, from August 8 to 15: an intense week full of tradition, heifers, bull runs, picnic dinners, mobile discos, games and lots of life in the streets. And on the other hand, the Sports and Cultural Week, from August 17 to 24, where the protagonists are the little ones, who will learn and enjoy games, sports and outdoor fun.
The best way to experience the festivities (and rest as needed between activity and activity) is by staying at the Campuebla Apartments, a step away from everything and with all the comforts. Book your apartment on 629673522
