Vitoria Festivities 2026 and Celedón: history, tradition, and atmosphere

They are not San Fermín, but the Vitoria Festivities are, without a doubt, one of the busiest and most lively in northern Spain. The capital of Álava dresses up to pay tribute to Celedón, the villager from Zalduondo who, umbrella in hand, kicks off the festivities on August 4th.

Why choose Mirasierra to live in?

Mirasierra is a neighbourhood belonging to the city of Madrid. It is located in the district of Fuencarral - El Pardo. It was founded as "Colonia Mirasierra" in 1950, and since then it has combined two factors that are highly valued by many people: the presence of nature and the proximity to the city.
