Fiestas and Annual events,  Fuente ÁlamoEach year on the 27th December, El Escobar hosts a Fiesta de Cuadrillas, which is a gathering of the musical Cuadrillas who perform at the religious celebrations across the region. First of all a musical mass is celebrated in the church, followed by the Cuadrillas performing in the streets. The Cuadrillas can "pedir el aguinaldo" from the neighbours,l which is a traditional way of raising money for the church, akin to our own practise of carol singing. Traditionally a "baile de pujas" was also celebrated , a dance of the fleas, in which the male members of the community would pay a sum of money to be able to dance with whichever female they chose, all the money going to the church funds.

In El Escobar an Auto of the Three Kings is also celebrated in the evening of the 5th January, following which the neighbours gather to share food and exchange gifts.
