Famous Spanish FestivalsThrow yourself into the excitement, colour and noise of Spanish festivals
Festivals in Spain have their origins in religious feasts, and although the religious elements can still be clearly seen, the celebrations have extended beyond the religious element. Today the parties usually last long into the night, with feasting, dancing and plenty of drinking! The balmy evenings, wonderfully engaging nature of the Spanish and fine cuisine combine to ensure that nowhere in Europe can rival the famous Spanish festivals for exuberance, entertainment and fun.

View Accommodation for La Feria de Abril The La Tomatina Festival, an enormous tomato fight, is one of the most popular Spanish Festivals, while the Pamplona Bull Run attracts thrill seekers of the highest order. Festivals in Spain occur almost daily, from the festivals of the smallest villages to large national events, but all share common characteristics. Visitors are always warmly received during festivals in Spain, and whether you are being chased by an angry bull or simply revelling in the energetic rhythms of a music festival in Spain, you are guaranteed fun. If the idea of running down a normally quiet street, armed with only a rolled up newspaper, followed by 600kg of angry, marauding, horn sporting beef sounds like an appealing way to spend an afternoon, the Fiesta de san Fermin will almost certainly be of interest. Hooves start thundering along the 825m course every morning from the 7th-14th July, met with an inspiring mix of terror from those running and exuberance from those bravely watching from behind a sturdy barrier. The famous Pamplona bull festival in Spain, as the Fiesta de san Fermin is better known across Europe, provides those brave (and endearingly stupid) enough to take to the streets in white linen trousers and their finest running shoes both a warm reception from the crowd and an adrenaline rush like no other.
