Festivals and traditions
Typical Extremaduran music is played during the afternoon on Saint Blas’s day.
This is one of the oldest festivities in Cáceres, since it dates back to 1561. It is held on the 2nd and 3rd of February. On the morning of 2 February, the Virgin of Las Candelas (Our Lady of the Candelas) is carried in procession from the hermitage of the same name, located in the heart of the Monumental City. The festivity of Saint Blas is celebrated in his hermitage, on the same day as Las Candelas, i.e. the eve of the saint's feast day.
