From July 3 to 5, 2026, the Ables exhibition complex in the municipality of Llanera will transform into a real medieval town. The Los Exconxuraos festival, one of the most popular historical events in Asturias, will take place here, attracting thousands of visitors every year.
The celebration is dedicated to events from the early 15th century. In 1408, the residents of Llanera were excommunicated after a conflict with representatives of the Bishop of Oviedo. Only in 1412, after the bishop changed, did they receive forgiveness by making a penitent procession to Oviedo. This is the story that the festival participants recreate.

Medieval Dinner and Knight Tournament
One of the most anticipated events will be the grand medieval dinner, which will take place on the evening of July 4.
More than 1200 participants dressed in historical costumes will gather at communal tables to enjoy dishes prepared according to traditional recipes. The main dish is considered to be spit-roasted lamb.
After dinner, a knight tournament begins, where participants demonstrate their weapon skills and medieval combat techniques.
Exconxuraos Parade
On the morning of July 5, the main historical event of the celebration will take place — the Exconxuraos procession.
Participants recreate the journey that the residents of Llanera undertook more than six centuries ago to obtain church forgiveness. This parade is considered a symbol of unity among the municipality’s residents and the culmination of the entire festival.
Why You Should Visit
Los Exconxuraos is not just a historical reconstruction. It is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the Middle Ages for a few days, to see knights, craftsmen, and musicians, to try traditional cuisine, and to learn about one of the most unusual pages in the history of Asturias.
If you are planning a trip to Asturias in early July, the festival in Llánera will be one of the brightest events of the season.
