Spanish fiestas are a great spectacle. Each town has its own special days when the residents go out to the streets to party. Each fiesta has its own quirks, but they generally involve music, dancing, dressing up and fireworks. If you are lucky enough to be in the area while a fiesta is in progress we highly recommend you sample this highly enjoyable slice of Spanish culture.

Here we have listed all the fiestas of local towns, in order of where is closest (see theTravelling section for a rough local map. You will find a fully detailed road map in our apartment):
