The two most important fiestas in Dolores are the Feria de Agosto (August Fair) and the Fiesta de la Virgen, in mid-September. This includes a carriage parade, the running of the “vaca toposa” (a variety of a small, lively cow), and the procession to honor the Virgen de los Dolores (Virgin of Sorrows), the patron saint of the village. Also, the Feria de Agosto is one of the more important fairs of Spain, and it features a Spanish Horse Contest. More than 1,500 horses are shown each year in all sorts of games and activities. The typical cuisine of Dolores takes advantage of the fresh vegetables available in the area (artichokes, beans etc), and also includes plenty of meat and seafood. The most typical dish is “cocido con pelotas”, which includes meatballs and potato and chickpea stew. There are also many fresh fruits such as melons, watermelons, oranges, and apricots. An open-air market is held every Friday morning where the local produce is sold.
