| Las Fallas Fire Festival Valencia Spain |
|
Valencia's biggest festival, Las Fallas, takes place every March with a riotious week of city fires, explosions and parades in honour of Saint Joseph, attracting around two million people. The city is adorned with a myriad of ninots, vast papier maché figures - politicians, film stars, bullfighters and anyone of local, national or international notoriety can find themselves colourfully caricatured as a 15 or 20 foot model. One of the highlights of the festival week is the burning of these monumental effigies. Valencia Property Valencia Golf Valencia Hotels Valencia Beaches |

| Romeria del Rocio Festival Huelva Spain |
Every spring around one million people converge on the shrine of El Rocio, at the edge of the Doñana national park, in the biggest romeria, or pilgrimage, in Spain. For an emotion-packed three days, the devotees of the Virgen del Rocio - Our Lady of the Dew - take part in a celebration which combines religious fervor and festive color. Many of the pilgrims make their way to the shrine on horseback or in brightly decorated carriages, in multi-coloured caravans that wind across the Andalucian countryside.

| Semana Santa Sevilla Festival Sevilla Spain |
I first went to Seville on a long weekend trip and there were a large number of people carrying odd pointy hats that reminded me of witches hats. It took us a while to work out that we were there the week before Semana Santa (Easter) and that the hats were part of the costumes that the people of Spain were in the many processions that take place in all the towns, cities and villages across Spain Sevilla Golf Sevilla Lawyers New Developments in Sevilla |
