In the 12th century the people of the towns of Haro and Miranda del Ebro were constantly fighting over property and land, but in 1237 the villages were commanded to stop, and indicate the town boundaries with purple banners. The process of dyeing the fabric and carrying it to the town borders is more or less what the people reenact at the festival when they carry wine buckets throughout the city. Eventually the towns people added more and more traditions, like throwing wine and getting drunk after mass on the day of San Pedro.
Join us this summer at the festival to celebrate with the people in the streets of Haro! The day trip will take place on June 29 and we will head North very early in the morning, and return late the in the evening. Buy your tickets online or at the Citylife Office on Gran Vía!
