- horse parades;
- Bullfights;
- Lots of music and dance instruments.
To become a participant in such an event, you should try and book a place to stay. And this should be done a few weeks before the start of the celebration.
You can see how the horse fair goes in this video:
Music Festival in Caceres
For three days in one Spanish city - Cáceres, an exciting festival of world music, art and dance (WOMAD) is held.

It is during this time in Córdoba that the best courtyards are open to graying by the public. The patio-backyard competition (Concurso de Patios Cordobeses) allows everyone to see the hidden part of Cordoba, which is inaccessible to prying eyes the rest of the time. For two weeks, the courtyards of private estates have been presented for public viewing in all their glory - they are strewn with various flowers, colorfully painted.
Muslim pirates
In early May, Muslim pirates invade the territory of Soller, which is located in the northern part of Mallorca. A similar battle, which is displayed in an impromptu battle, fully tells and recreates the sad battle that took place in the 16th century when the city was attacked. The townspeople are fighting impromptu invaders and it is a pleasure to watch such a performance.

Read the answers below and see the calendars of national and regional holidays.
The main feature of the holidays in Spain
In Spain, there are only 9 national holidays (weekends). However, each region of the country chooses another 3 or 4 days for regional holidays, on which days off are declared within this region.
As a result, there are more than 30 regional holidays in Spain. We will tell about national holidays in detail, and simply list the regional ones. If we began to describe in detail each regional holiday in Spain, then this article would turn into a book. Look for the calendar of regional holidays at the end of this article.
Epiphany Day (January 6) is chosen for the holiday in all 20 regions of Spain. Technically it is regional, in fact it is national.

Postponement of holidays
The transfer of weekends in Spain is practiced. If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, an additional day off is often assigned on the following Monday. The decision on this issue is made by the regional authorities individually for each day.
January 1 - New Year
In Spanish "Año Nuevo" ("Año Nuevo")
Spaniards meet New Year just like the Russians. However, the Spaniards have three very interesting traditions, which we will discuss in detail.
The Spaniards call New Year's Eve "Nochevieja" ("Nochevieja"), literally translated as "old night". They either set the table at home, or go to city squares or city parks.
TV channels show New Year's TV shows, and at midnight broadcast the image of the clock from the square in Madrid.
At first, the bells ring four times, then a pause, then 12 strokes, one for each month of the new year.
The first interesting tradition is associated with these strikes - there is one grape for each strike of the bell. This tradition is over 100 years old. It is believed that in 1909, farmers in the vicinity of Alicante grew a record harvest of grapes. There was nowhere to put the harvest, so they came up with this tradition.
It would seem to eat 12 grapes, what's so difficult? Moreover, the bells do not sound every second, but every 3 seconds. That is, 12 grapes in 36 seconds. Actually, it's not that easy.
They eat Aledo grapes from the Vinalopo Valley in the vicinity of Alicante. These are grapes with seeds. In 3 seconds, you need to not only chew and swallow a grape, but also spit out the seeds. Some Spaniards eat straight with the bones. Some open 12 of their grapes in advance and take out the seeds. The most convenient option is to buy a jar of 12 seedless grapes in a supermarket.
According to Spanish belief, whoever can eat all 12 grapes is guaranteed happiness and good luck for all 12 months of the new year.
The second interesting tradition is to celebrate the New Year in red underwear. Not necessarily in a full red set, you need at least one element - panties, a bra or a garter, even red socks or an undershirt are suitable. Moreover, red underwear for the New Year cannot be bought for oneself, someone must give it. Red in Spain is associated with wealth and good luck.
The third tradition is to drink Cava sparkling wine from Catalonia. Put in a glass Golden ring, then drink in one gulp. The main thing here is not to swallow the ring. Whoever swallows is guaranteed failure all year. And here you can’t argue, because the first failure has already taken place.
After the bells are struck, a big salute is arranged. The celebration lasts all night, people walk to the best of their ability and capabilities of the liver. January 1 in Spain, as in Russia, is Hangover Day. Shops, restaurants, cafes are closed on January 1 until noon for sure, and most all day.
New Year's Eve in Spain can be interesting for tourists, just join the celebration: wear red underwear, pour Cava wine and eat 12 grapes. It will be fun.
Talking about Spanish holidays is both easy and difficult at the same time. It is easy because every Spanish holiday is so capacious and many-sided that even if it has already been described by dozens of other authors, you can always write about something they have not noticed. The difficulty lies in the number of holidays in Spain that has not yet been accurately calculated by anyone. Here, even city districts and quarters celebrate dates known only to them. And each holiday has its own traditions and its own history, its own unique taste.

On this day, grandiose processions take place in large cities, perhaps the day of the Magi (or the Three Kings, or the Three Magicians) is one of the brightest holidays in Spain.
