Membrío celebrates, on August 15, a holiday dedicated to Saint Mary: Our Lady of Grace. During the holidays, Membrío doubles and even triples its population, since emigrants from the village and their families return for a few days. Other notable membrillero festivities are the Carnival and Easter, when, following the southern Spanish tradition, the baroque church icons are taken into the streets.
