A celebration with many participants

Puçol’s popular and patron saint festivities honour the Virgen al Pie de la Cruz, Our Lady at the Foot of the Cross. The programme brings together religious ceremonies, concerts, children’s activities, sport and traditional bull events. Understanding the celebration means looking at the whole programme: different events attract different audiences and take place in different settings.

València Turisme places the traditional festival period between the last Sunday in August and the first days of September. This is a cultural reference; each year’s programme sets the actual dates, times and venues.

The pilgrimage and the main celebrations

The pilgrimage to the Cabeçol recalls the place where, according to local tradition, the image of Puçol’s patroness was found. An archived report by elperiodic.com documents the route from Puçol to this hill, which lies within the municipality of El Puig.

Bous al carrer and religious celebrations form part of the main festival days. Each kind of event needs its own explanation: a procession, a bull run and a children’s activity have different routes and conditions.
