Consuegra Medieval Festival

– An exciting historical event

The perfect event for those who love theatrical reenactments based on the gory tales of Medieval Spain.

Consuegra Medieval Festival is a time warp of dramatised performances in which participants are transported back to the 8th century to recall the bloody Battle of Consuegra in the year 1097.

For over two decades, hundreds of local townspeople have participated in an exaggerated transformation of Consuegra to relive the brutal attack on the Castle of La Muela.

One weekend in the middle of August, villagers gather to recall a time in which the North African Moors set out to conquer and siege the Medieval Castle of La Muela in Consuegra;

It is ultimately resulting in the death of Diego Rodriguez, the only son of the Castilian nobleman and military leader, El Cid Campeador.

Live performances are set to take place in the Castle of Consuegra, on the boardwalk of Rio Amarguillo and in the towns’ bullring.

On the final evening of the Consuegra Medieval Festival, an alluring funeral ceremony is held in front of the castle, on Calderico’s Mount, to honour the respected life of Diego Rodriguez.

Enjoyable for all ages.
