On 20 January, Reinosa celebrates San Sebastián, the town’s patron saint. This event names the Church of San Sebastián, which was completed on this exact date in 1774. Each year, during San Sebastián, the “ollas ferroviarias” contest takes place, where locals prepare stews in the Plaza del Ayuntamiento.
