La Puebla has three pretty parishes: Los
Cantos, La Monzona and Los Calpes. Other
interesting places to visit are the Peña
Giberte and the Maimona river, as well as
the Las Palomas well, a natural bathing
pool collecting the waters of the Molino
de los Peiros. On the outskirts of the town
there are the remains of the Moslem castle
of La Viñaza, also known as the Castillo
Arenoso.
The town centre layout is medieval and
in its centre there are the main square
and the 16th-century church of Nuestra Señora
de los Ángeles.
La Puebla also has many hermitages such
as those of Nuestra Señora de los
Ángeles, San Cristóbal, Nuestra
Señora del Loreto and Santa Bárbara.
Its festive calendar begins on January 17
with the Hogueras de San Antón bonfires.
At the beginning of August they celebrate
the main fiestas in honour of Nuestra Señora
de los Ángeles, with the mass gathering
and procession to the hermitage.
In September the fiestas dedicated to San
Mateo and La Virgen del Loreto take place
and in December they celebrate the “días
de la Santa”. |
