Malillos offers two distinct points of interest for planning a trip: the Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena and the Fiestas de María Magdalena, whose dates are known for past years. La Casona Medieval is listed as a rural accommodation option, with specific contact details. This makes it possible to plan your cultural interests, a particular festival period and your search for accommodation separately. Past festival programmes are tied to specific dates; if you are considering a trip for a fiesta, check the dates for your travel year.
Church Architecture and Heritage Conservation
As part of a heritage conservation project, the ribs and vault webs of the Iglesia de Santa María Magdalena were consolidated; this work was reported on in 2022. In a rib vault, the ribs are the arched members, while the vault webs are the surfaces between them. This helps explain the conserved architectural elements. If you are interested in historic architecture and heritage conservation, this project offers a specific cultural point of interest in Malillos.

Fiestas de María Magdalena: Past Programmes
In 2024, the Fiestas de María Magdalena were scheduled for 19 to 21 July; for 2025, the period was set for 18 to 20 July. Both periods fell in July and lasted three days; the 2025 festivities began one day earlier than those in 2024. If you would like to plan a trip around the fiesta, check the dates for your travel year rather than relying on dates from previous years.
The 2025 festival programme included a pétanque competition at Praconcejo. Pétanque is a boules sport; this item gives the past festival information a specific sporting dimension. The 2026 programme included a traditional aperitif with wine and embutido, as well as a water activity for all age groups. The fiesta was also described as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Fiesta de María Magdalena. The two years therefore featured different highlights: the competition at Praconcejo in 2025, and the aperitif and water activity in 2026. This comparison helps you distinguish the specific programme items by year.
If you decide on the purpose of your trip first, you can make the other decisions more easily: for a fiesta trip, the specific programme year is key; for accommodation, check that the 11 places are suitable, as well as the current availability and classification. The church provides a separate cultural focus, independent of the fiesta periods mentioned. This helps you decide whether your travel dates should be determined by a festival programme or whether your interest in church architecture should take priority.
