Most of the research on rural youth has focused on the material conditions that cause their migration to cities, but it has not tended to address sociocultural dimensions, such as those concerning leisure and what might condition the processes of migration among young people. The aim of this study is to contrast the discourse and representations that young people have regarding leisure with the festive practices that they carry out in Spanish villages. The fieldwork consisted of 13 discussion groups and 38 in-depth interviews (N = 118), with participants aged between 15 and 24 years. The results show that: (1) young people construct their idea of partying through dominant, dichotomous and unequal rural–urban representations, demonstrating the presence of traditional stereotypes around rurality; (2) the village becomes desirable as a place for partying at specific times of the year, such as local festivals; (3) the practices of rural youth call into question this normative imaginary, as is also shown by their adaptation, belonging and agency in the construction and management of leisure. Getting rid of stereotypes about rurality and creating positive thinking about the leisure possibilities in villages can lead young people to see it as a space for opportunities and personal development.

消除刻板印象：村庄是西班牙年轻人理想的聚会场所☆

大多数关于农村青年的研究都集中在导致他们迁移到城市的物质条件上，但并未倾向于解决社会文化方面的问题，例如有关休闲的问题以及可能影响年轻人迁移过程的因素。本研究的目的是将年轻人关于休闲的话语和表述与他们在西班牙村庄进行的节日习俗进行对比。实地考察包括 13 个讨论组和 38 次深度访谈（N = 118），参与者年龄在 15 至 24 岁之间。结果表明：（1）年轻人通过主导的、二分的和不平等的城乡表征来构建他们的派对观念，这表明了围绕农村的传统刻板印象的存在；(2) 村庄成为一年中特定时间（例如当地节日）聚会的理想场所；(3)农村青年的实践对这种规范想象提出了质疑，他们在休闲建设和管理中的适应、归属和代理也表明了这一点。摆脱对乡村的刻板印象，对乡村的休闲可能性进行积极思考，可以引导年轻人将乡村视为机会和个人发展的空间。
