Festivity of La Ponte

Popular tradition places the birth of this festival at the dawn of the 16th century, differentiating it from the rest of the festivals known as "fiestas de prao" in that one of its main events is the only livestock fair held in the council of Pravia, which is also one of the oldest in the whole of Asturias.

There is also a Bolo Batiente championship, ox dragging, a horse-riding race and a mass sung in Asturian, accompanied by bagpipe music.

One of the most striking features of this celebration is its strength to survive over time, overcoming all kinds of vicissitudes and social changes, and still showing today all the authenticity and purity of the most rural Asturias in the midst of the incomparable beauty of the Arango Valley.

Over the years and to this day, La Ponte is organised as a festival of all and for all.
