Fiestas In Palmares
All Costa Ricans know that Palmares is synonymous with "fiesta" for 10 days starting Thursday, 15 January.

The town starts planning its annual party, Las Fiestas de Palmares, in July the year before, and the payoff is tremendous. The festival is welcoming, well-organized, and fun for everyone, especially the young people.

The tope - a procession of purebred horses - kicks off the week; fairgrounds north of the town center are then transformed by fireworks, roller-coaster rides, concerts and sporting events like mountain-biking races.

There is also a bullfighting ring where Palmares hosts its own running of the bulls and bullfights, in which the bulls never die.

The palm-filled park and gray stone church (made with whole slabs and a special eggshell cement) are here year-round, but otherwise, there's not much more for visitors to see.
