Two words you will hear
Romería — an ox-cart pilgrimage: carts, traditional dress, wine and food handed out along the way. The arrival is where everyone ends up, not the start.
Verbena — an open-air dance that runs late, with a live band in the square.
Guachinche — a small family place, often the front room of a farmhouse, serving their own wine and two or three home dishes.
