Local public holidays in 2026. The resolution published in the BOPA declares in Aller two paid and non-recoverable days: 11 November, Festival of San Martín de Los Humanitarios de Moreda, and 26 November, Cabañaquinta Mercaón Festival. They are days of the work calendar and do not in themselves delimit the duration of the celebrations nor do they accredit an annual programme.
The council also maintains festivals, fairs and markets in its different locations; The municipal portal brings together events such as the Mercaón de Cabañaquinta and parish celebrations. In August 2026, the final programme for Saint Martin has not yet been published, so only its permanent features and, separately, the already approved public holidays are included here.
