They make the most extravagant displays of affection for partying and celebrating in the popular festivals or ferias as known in their local tongue. These festivals take place in almost all the towns and villages throughout Spain. Some of the festivals in Spain have deep religious and historical meaning to the locals while others are simply meant for partying and having fun. The following are among the best festivals in Spain. http://spainguides.com/fiestas.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2014-06-01 16:11:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Spanish people are festive by nature, perfectly capable of turning a family reunion into a weekend bacchanal. Nevertheless, the large amount of ceremonies and festivals that take place throughout the year in the country have less of a familial origin, and are more indebted, instead, to the rich diversity of economic and religious activities that gave rise to many different traditions. Therefore, whether you embark on them during winter, spring, summer or fall, your travels in Spain are sure to coincide with at least one of the many festivals in the country's jam-packed cultural calendar. http://www.enforex.com/culture/spanish-festivals.html http://www.expatica.com/es/essentials_moving_to/country_fact... I was once told to use 'festival' as the translation and I have continued to do so ever since. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2014-06-01 16:15:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The organisers of the prestigious San Isidro festival said it was the first time in 35 years that the event had had to be suspended. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-27507414 It often seems like every day is a festival in Spain. But with every city (and many towns and villages) having its own festival and numerous other Saints and events to celebrate (not to mention the film and music festivals), that sometimes doesn't feel too far from the truth! http://gospain.about.com/od/spanishfestivals/ |
