San Isidro Labrador, patron saint of Madrid and peasants; for many years, it has been the patron saint to which everyone prays and loves to ask for the countryside, vineyards and good weather for the fields.
In San Asensio, a great viticulture village in La Rioja Alta, it is also celebrated.
Every May 15th, people prepare theirselves to spend a day visiting the different cooperatives; but it all starts the night before, with a bonfire during which they dance around the brass, the village-band plays life music; and after that, the typical cake of San Isidro is eaten with muscatel and orujo.

The day starts with a Mass and a procession, and continues with a tour around the three cooperatives: El Arca de Noé, San Cebrín and Señorío de la Estrella.
