What festivals are there in Spain?

1, Bull Run Festival: crazy games of the Brave

On the first day of the festival, a rocket launcher was launched from the city hall square. After seven days and nights in a row, various celebrations included music, literature and art, open-air dancing and so on. Young people always play all night, participate in the running of cattle festival with great interest during the day, and enjoy the exciting feeling of being chased by cattle.

Every year at noon on July 6th, the San Fermin Festival begins. At this moment, thousands of tourists are waiting in the square in front of Ayuntamiento, holding bright red San Fermin scarves over their heads.

At this time, the mayor lit a Chupinazo from the balcony of the hall to announce the start of San Fermin Festival, and the tourists quickly tied their scarves around their necks. After that, several huge balloons will be raised in the square, and citizens and tourists all over the city will open a lot of champagne and spray each other. Before that, people in the square began to throw eggs at each other to celebrate in advance.

2. Tomato Festival: The Red War of Carnival

Tomato Festival is also called Tomato Festival. The Spanish Tomato (Spanish: La Tomatina) Festival started at 1945 and is held on the last Wednesday of August every year. It is the most famous festival in the world. Legend has it that one day, a small band in the city blew its horn through the city from the center of the city, and the leader even raised it to the sky. At this time, a group of young people had a whim, grabbed the tomatoes and threw them at the loudspeaker, competing with each other to see who could throw the tomatoes in. This is the origin of the "Tomato War".

3. Fa Ya Festival: a luxurious Spring Festival.

Fa Ya Festival is a traditional Spanish festival, which is held from March 15 to March 19 every year. For nearly a week, there were fireworks displays, parades, flowers for the Virgin Mary and other activities, which culminated in the burning of dolls at midnight. Therefore, this festival is also called the Fire Festival, because it welcomes spring by burning dolls, so a large number of tourists go to this festival every year.

20 16 was listed as the intangible cultural heritage of mankind by UNESCO at the end of June.

4. Eucharist Day

Corpus Christi Festival is one of the most important religious festivals in Catholicism. Every June, towns in Spain celebrate this festival solemnly, and Toledo has the largest scale and the longest history. I arrived in Toledo the day before the Eucharist, and found colorful flags and tapestries hung on the windows and balconies of almost every household, and "ceilings" embroidered with crosses were erected in the streets and alleys of the ancient city.

5. Carnival

The Spanish Carnival originated in 1492. This is a very old and popular festival, which is held 40 days before "Holy Week". It is the Japanese people's carnival to celebrate the light of the Spanish people. It expresses the Spanish people's love for life, happiness, peace and freedom.
