Recinto ferial de Llanera
Posada
Exconxuraos returns to Llanera with a new edition of this historic
celebration, which re-enacts the pardon granted to the inhabitants of
the council following their confrontation with the ecclesiastical
authorities in the Middle Ages. Over three days, the Llanera
Exhibition Centre is transformed into a large medieval town featuring
a market, a historical encampment, re-enactments, exhibitions, music,
shows and activities for all ages.
The event will feature a
large medieval market, historical encampments, jousting, falconry
displays, puppet theatre and storytelling, street music, historical
re-enactments, parades and evening concerts. The programme will
culminate on Sunday with the traditional Exconxuraos parade, the
open-air mass and the closing ceremonies.
