Discover Bormujos

Culture and festivals

Bormujos celebrates Corpus Christi every year. The Blessed Sacrament leaves the Parroquia de la Encarnación in a procession, accompanied by the town’s brotherhoods and the children who receive their First Communion that year. Alongside the monstrance, Santo Domingo de Silos, the patron saint of Bormujos, is carried on a simple bier. The streets are decorated with rushes and rosemary, as well as carpets made of salt and colored sawdust; altars are also erected along the procession route.

The Feria de Bormujos takes place in the last week of August. It features around 50 freely accessible festival tents offering tapas and wine, as well as daily performances.

Buildings and historical traces

The Iglesia de la Encarnación was built at the end of the Middle Ages and remodeled in 1681. Its simple exterior portal is designed in the Classicist Baroque style. In the upper part of the right aisle is a depiction of Saint Sebastian dating from the first third of the 17th century. The second chapel, dedicated to the Sagrario, contains an 18th-century altarpiece.

On the façade is an image made up of eight ceramic tiles in shades of yellow and blue, probably dating from the 18th century, depicting the mystery of the Holy Trinity.

The small Hacienda Valencinilla del Hoyo is situated on top of a hill near the Cañada Real. It is arranged around a square courtyard with a central fountain and semicircular arches. Its architecture is white, with details in almagra. The associated estate dates from the 17th century; the hacienda already existed in the 11th century and probably developed from an earlier alquería.

The bridge over the Riopudio stream has an opening approximately four meters wide, with a voussoir arch made of dressed stone and a large brick abutment. Based on the shape of its arch, it is dated to the 18th century; it serves public road traffic.
