Iznájar Fair (La Feria Real)
When: 7 - 11 Sep 2009 (annual)
Where: Iznájar
The Iznájar Fair features all-night parties followed by beautiful processions, where musicians walk the streets singing dawn choruses. When the hour gets a little more sociable, everyone attends a Mass.

Part of the festival pays tribute to the patron saint of La Virgen de la Piedad. Devotees accompany the enthroned Virgin, elegantly seated among candles and flowers, in a procession.

Traditionally, those that wished to repent on this day would carry out their penance by donating kilo blocks of wax to the church. Nowadays repenters place a sum of money in the collection box or go to confession.
