The oldest and best-attended carnival in Spain is a freewheeling event full of costumes, parades, strolling troubadours, and drum beating. Mid-February.
(Holy Week)
Although many of the country's smaller towns stage similar celebrations (especially notable in Málaga), the festivities in Seville are by far the most elaborate. From Palm Sunday until Easter Sunday, a series of processions with hooded penitents moves to the piercing wail of the saeta, a love song to the Virgin or Christ. Pasos (heavy floats) bear images of the Virgin or Christ.
(Seville Fair)
This is the most celebrated week of revelry in the country, with all-night flamenco dancing, merrymaking in casetas (entertainment booths), bullfights, horseback riding, flower-decked coaches, and dancing in the streets. Second week after Easter.
In Coníl de la Frontera and Barbate.
The local traditional tuna fishing is happening in May or June in the Strait of Gibraltar, just off-shore of our local sea side towns. Tuna fairs are held in Coníl de la Frontera and Barbate each year.
