XIII Historical Setting of the Magacela Historical Complex (declared a Cultural Heritage Site), featuring a medieval market where the entire population participates, dressed in period costumes. Musical performances, theatrical acts, dances, puppet shows, etc., take place in various squares or venues. Exhibitions and displays of craftsmanship in different houses of the historic center, thus offering the chance to visit the town's traditional architecture and reviving crafts that are fading away (basket makers, potters, tinsmiths, dairy workers, blacksmiths, etc.). Tours of various monuments with on-site explanations are available. Technicians will conduct tours of the Historical Complex, Castle, Dolmen, Cave Paintings, and the complex of Kilns (declared a Cultural Heritage Site in 2024 in the category of Ethnological Interest Site). These are organized at different times throughout the day. Typical activities of this kind of market include games, workshops, exhibitions, archery, music, falconry, etc. Parades of Giants and Bigheads, various characters such as kings and queens from the Moors and Christians, parade through the market streets accompanied by minstrels reciting poems.
