Celebrated annually since 1948, this is the oldest wine harvest festival in Spain. Activities include numerous parades, fireworks and mascletás (gunpowder demonstrations), bullfights, and of course wine tastings.
Wine tastings are held M-Th at 12:30 in a pavilion behind the Sala Antiguo Mercado (entrance through the mercado), and include four glasses of wine, a four-course meal, and a souvenir wine glass. Entry tickets are sold beginning at noon, but people usually start queuing about 20-30 min beforehand as seats are limited.
Tribute Tower
The only remaining portion of the Moorish castle, built around the 10th century as a border fortification and later modified during the Christian era.
La Villa Caves
Built by the Arabs, the maze of caves and tunnels run underneath almost the entirety of La Villa. At various times they were used as granaries, war-time shelters, wine cellars, and an ossuary.
Church of St. Nicholas
First built in the 13th century, the church was modified and rebuilt several times, most recently in the early 18th century.
Church of St. Mary
Construction of this church began in the 14th century and was completed in the 18th century. Especially noteworthy is the Flamboyant Gothic portal of the Annunciation; the interior is mostly Baroque.
Church of el Salvador
This 15th-century church was extensively remodeled in the 18th century, but the Flamboyant Gothic portal has survived. It is the only church in La Villa still used for worship.
Tunnels
Excavated during the Spanish War of Succession in the early 18th century, the tunnels were used as a bomb shelter during the Civil War, and most recently for growing mushrooms. The city has now opened them to visitors.
