The municipality of El Molar is getting ready for its patron saint festivities in honor of Nuestra Señora del Remolino, which will take place from May 13 to 17, 2026, offering a diverse program with music, religious acts, and activities for all generations.

The celebrations will officially begin on Wednesday, May 13, at 7:00 PM with a welcome and gathering of local clubs, enlivened by the electrocharanga «Rock and Wells». Half an hour later, children will have their own space with the «Famiplay» games, ensuring a family-friendly start to the festivities.
After the religious acts of the novena, midnight on Wednesday will bring one of the most anticipated moments: a grand fireworks display. Immediately after, the opening speech for the festivities will take place, followed by music from the mobile disco «La Fiesta» and a performance by DJ Neil, extending the celebration into the early morning.
Thursday, May 14, will be dedicated to the central acts in honor of the patron saint. At 12:00 PM, the Main Mass will be celebrated, followed in the afternoon by a solemn procession through the streets of the municipality starting at 7:00 PM. The cultural program for that day will feature a tribute to Spanish song «La Cordobesa» at 10:00 PM, followed by the orchestra «Grupo Adicción» and a session by DJ Helio.
On Friday, May 15, activities will start early with the diana floreada by «Los Sapitos». At 12:30 PM, the XI Rural Olympics will be held, a classic event that tests participants' skills in a relaxed atmosphere. The aperitif hour will be accompanied by a parade and a traditional tasting of lemonade and typical dishes at 1:30 PM. In the afternoon, at 7:30 PM, residents can participate in the «Learn to dance with Molarzolanos» activity, and the evening will be enlivened by the charanga «Desfase», the orchestra «Voltaje Nova Show», and DJ Norba.
Saturday, May 16, will maintain the festive pace with the diana floreada by «Los de la Cruz» and the aperitif parade at 1:00 PM.
