For the residents of Perales del Río, these festivities represent a unique opportunity to strengthen neighbourly ties and enjoy six days of leisure without leaving the neighbourhood. The organisation is managed by the Festivities Commission, made up of local entities, clubs, groups, and associations, with logistical support from the council.
The events will take place at the Fairgrounds and various streets in the neighbourhood. The weather forecast indicates sunny days, ideal for outdoor activities. On Monday, July 20, the last day, no events are scheduled, but the local clubs and bars usually maintain the festive atmosphere.
