Regarding cultural activities

The Siglo Foundation, for Tourism and the Arts of Castilla y León, has planned to hold two festivals in the province of Avila during the summer of 2026: the Castilla y León Heritage Stage Festival and the Castilla y León International Cir&co Festival.

The Castilla y León Heritage Stage Festival is a project distinguished by its ability to bring together the rich cultural, heritage, and tourist attractions of Castilla y León. The 2026 program for the Castilla y León Heritage Stage Festival, running from July 3rd to August 30th, includes four performances planned for the province of Avila. One of these has had to be postponed, and the organizers are working with the Mombeltrán City Council to agree on a new date.

  • 'Inés del Río', by Inés del Río, in Mombeltrán (Avila) postponed pending a new date

  • 'The echo of the bell (sun in music)', by Esquila, in Villafranca de la Sierra
     Friday, August 7, 2026; 9:00 PM - 10:20 PM _ Bullring

  • 'Magic, humor and a bit of psychology', by Miguel de Lucas, in Bonilla de la Sierra
     Sunday, August 23, 2026; 8:30 PM - 9:20 PM _Collegiate Church of San Martín (exterior)

     Friday, August 28, 2026; 9:00 PM - 10:30 PM _Convent of Santo Domingo and San Pablo.

The Castilla y León International Circus & Co Festival will take place between August 26 and 30, 2026, in the city of Avila. In addition, the festival will extend to the rest of the province, thanks to the collaboration of the Avila Provincial Council.

The municipalities where the festival will be held are:

  • Piedrahita
  • Casavieja
  • Madrigal de Las Altas Torres
  • Burgohondo
  • The Arenal
  • Mombeltrán
  • Navalperal de Pinares

Currently, none of the activities planned in the festival program have been cancelled or postponed.

The Cir&co festival, aside from its cultural aspect, is a major tourist attraction and a very interesting project for the city, the province, and the leisure, hospitality, and retail sectors. Therefore, the Siglo Foundation considers it important to continue holding the festival in order to contribute to the recovery of tourism to the province of Avila.
