Events in Spain to plan for

In Spain, one can easily notice the abundant energy in the activities in the country. From worldwide known fiestas such as La Tomatina or San Fermín to smaller local events, it is always fiesta time. Spanish events are very lively with a lot of music and dancing, lasting sometimes even till the next day.

Spanish culture is diverse in terms of features such as Spanish festivities that can be characterized by parades and dancing in honor of holy and great events, as one can observe during ‘Semana Santa’ and ‘Feria de Abril.’ During a peak in the season, people from everywhere seem to be celebrating, whether in a concentration in the city or in a dispersed cluster in a village.

La Tomatina

Every year in the month of August, the quiet town Buñol located in Spain becomes a foolhardy land for La Tomatina. It is on this day that people of a small Spanish town revel in throwing overripe tomatoes at each other in a fun and messy food fight. This is a harmless pastime which began in the 1950s and has become a joy-inducing event for both residents and tourists alike.

Las Fallas

Las Fallas is a celebration that occurs in March each year in Valencia and is marked by the construction of towering paper and wooden sculptures. These elaborate constructions are on display for the public to see, only to later be torched amidst a brilliant display of fireworks as a tribute to spring’s arrival and rejuvenation.
