The Exconxuraos in Llanera
Recinto ferial de Llanera
Posada
The fairground of Llanera, in Posada, hosts the festival of Los Exconxuraos, a commemoration of a historical event that took place in the Council a long time ago and whose recovery was initiated by the residents of this central Asturian municipality just over a decade ago.
It is held during the first weekend of July and has become a reference point for Llanera and the people of Llanera as it serves to unite and bring together all the neighbours, just as their ancestors did in their day.
Throughout the weekend there are activities and shows that put the visitor in situation and take them back to medieval times. Ribbons, banners, shields, warriors, jesters, knights, musicians... add colour to this festival, which is already a regional and national reference point.
The main activity is the great medieval dinner, which each year brings together more than 1,000 diners who share a table in an atmosphere that evokes an authentic parade ground. The attendees, dressed in period costumes, will feel like real medieval characters while enjoying various performances, jesters, magicians, men of fire...
