  The Tradition Festival
   
 

On 10th November the town dresses up to welcome the visitors and celebrate the gaucho's festival. In the morning, hundreds of gauchos ride along the streets glowing off their best costumes and silver horse gears. Some gauchos proudly pulling along a string of tame horses remarkably alike in size and colour (their tropillas). Only seen in Argentina!

Dances and music in the streets and delicious barbecues with red Malbec at lunch.

Later in the afternoon outstanding horseman craft in the show-field, horse breaking, lasooing of cattle and horses, the amazing spectacle of 500 horses running wild to find their crew in five everlasting minutes and at last never the least, the huge bonfire, dancing flames to the trumpet tunes, a military band playing at dusk, while hundred of gauchos ride around to bring back old memories of the Conquest of the Desert!

Unmissable!
