What festivals are there in Spain?

Spanish festivals include Three Kings' Day, Fa Ya's Day, San Fermin's Day, Tomato's Day and St George's Day.

Three Kings Day is a children's day in Spain, which falls on June 6th every year. In Spanish legend, there were three kings from the East a long time ago-the king with black face, the king with yellow face and the king with white face. These three kings brought happiness and joy to people. They will also give gifts to children, and the time for giving gifts is set at 65438+1October 6 every year, so this festival becomes Children's Day in Spain.

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.

San Fermin Festival, also known as the running of the bulls. This is a traditional celebration in Pamplona, the capital of Navarra, Spain. San Fermin Festival is held from July 6th to July 4th every year/kloc-0. In the days of the festival, six fierce bulls chase hundreds of strong men every day, and walk through the city along the "Bull Run Road" and go straight to the bullring. The scene is extremely thrilling.

Tomato Festival is also called Tomato Festival. 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".

Saint George's Day, named after Saint George, the patron saint of Catalonia (an autonomous region and historical and geographical region of Spain), originated from the life circle of earl and aristocrat. At that time, there was a tradition of offering roses to women, and the main activities of the festival were held in Born.

Spanish custom

Spaniards usually shake hands when meeting guests in formal social situations. Boyfriends often hug each other when they meet acquaintances. Spanish names usually have three or four parts. The first two sections are my name, the penultimate section is my father's surname, and the last section is my mother's surname. Usually it is the father's surname.
