Móstoles recovers the flavor of its tradition with the “Rosca de San Marcos”
2026/04/15

Coinciding with the celebration of Saint Mark's Day, on April 25, Móstoles once again highlights one of its most representative traditions.

The initiative, which combines tradition and economic revitalization to support local commerce and hospitality, will be developed through the "Everything is in Móstoles" platform.

The Móstoles City Council, through Móstoles Desarrollo, is launching the “Rosca de San Marcos 2026” campaign to invite citizens to rediscover one of the most emblematic products of the municipality while supporting local businesses and restaurants.

This initiative is part of the "Everything is in Móstoles" platform and aims to promote shopping at local businesses while highlighting one of the most characteristic traditions of this time of year. Any business not currently participating that wishes to join simply needs to register via the following link: register .

The Rosca de San Marcos is a tradition deeply rooted in the cultural and gastronomic identity of Móstoles. This custom, associated with the April 25th festivities, originated as a pilgrimage where locals would go to the countryside to celebrate the arrival of spring with a picnic, in which the rosca was a key ingredient. This initiative aims to maintain this connection to local traditions, bringing them closer to the entire community and ensuring their continuation.

Shop in your neighborhood and get your free rosca.

Participating in the campaign is very simple. Adults who make purchases at participating establishments can receive a free Rosca de San Marcos. The steps are as follows:

  • Make a minimum purchase of €10, between April 15 and 23, 2026 , both inclusive, at participating establishments.
  • Attach the original purchase receipt using the form available on the "Everything is in Móstoles" platform within the established deadline. Participation is limited to one entry per person, regardless of the number of purchases made.

  • Once validated, you will receive a unique QR code via the email address provided in the previous step.

This code will allow you to redeem a free Rosca de San Marcos on April 24, 25, and 26 at the indicated bakeries, pastry shops, or restaurants during their regular business hours. Presenting the QR code is essential to receive the free product.

The promotion is subject to a limited number of available roscas, so the entry form will close once that limit is reached. Therefore, it is recommended to make your purchases and upload your receipts in advance to avoid missing out on this tradition.

Boosting local commerce

With this campaign, Móstoles Desarrollo reinforces its commitment to the commercial and hospitality sector of the municipality, encouraging consumption in local businesses and promoting initiatives that generate economic activity.

Furthermore, the initiative helps to keep alive the tradition of the Rosca de San Marcos, a product deeply rooted in the local gastronomic culture.
