Later with the arrival of the Romans, the "munda cerealis" offered to the Goddess Ceres coinciding with the arrival of spring. The rite was christened, and in 602 AD Liuba II the Visigoth king gave the town the image of the Virgen del Prado , which since then offerings are made. In the sixteenth century is drawn up legislation to unify the party also became "bullfighting." Today

the Sunday after the Resurrection, the Mayor receives many men who later carried logs flower beds and doors to various churches of the city. Parishioners were previously donated money to cover the holidays and as alms for the poor of the city.
With the act of proclamation are beginning the festivities will last throughout the week, with events memorials, recreational and cultural.
