La Batalla de La Puente
This final feria
of the summer in Montejaque is not to be missed.
Spectacular, charming, quaint and exciting are all adjectives that apply to this celebration of the defeat of Napoleon's troops in 1810.

La Batalla de La Puente - the feria
This year this emblematic feria takes place over Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 26, 27 and 28 September.
The central area of the village will be transformed into a 19th century village and the villagers will dress up as French soldiers or as peasants.
In the real battle in 1810, 700 French troops were defeated by a ragbag of farmers, old men and the women of the village.
A plaque outside the church commemorates the event.

Accommodation
The village fills up for this important fiesta in the cultural life of Montejaque. Relatives of montejaqueños return to the village, as well as curious tourists from many countries, who like to join in the fun..
The four "hotels" are always full, as are the many casas rurales.
Booking.com, AirBnb, and VRBO have long-since booked up for the three-day event. Some who rent privately or by word of mouth may have availability.

CASA REAL, MONTEJAQUE
Casa Real has undergone a full renovation, yet has retained many original features.
Now boasting three double bedrooms plus space for a baby, infant or child, Casa Real has become one of the largest rental houses in the village.
With its large L-shaped lounge, dining room and kitchen; shady internal patio; two modern bathrooms; laundry room; and huge roof terrace, Casa Real cannot be further enhanced.
And, what’s more, Casa Real is situated just one minute’s walk from the village square. Access with a vehicle is good and there is ample free parking nearby.
