ℹ️ Additional information: Although the Magosto de Ponferrada is the main event of the city, many villages in the El Bierzo region (such as Molinaseca, Cacabelos, Villar de los Barrios, or Toral de Merayo) organize their own popular magostos during November, each with its own charm and specific dates.
