This year the Festa de la Verema is celebrated later than in recent years, on the 18th, 19th and 20th of October, at the traditional stage at La Fragata. Apart from the traditional first pressing of grapes (as an offering to the parish Church) there will be the long-awaited contest of grape tramplers and the wine fair, which lasts all weekend

This event is sponsored by Bodegues Família Torres
