Spain is a country with many celebration and festivities, accompained with varius things interesting, for example, its a gastronomy delicious by share with your family while accompaned with a atmosphere with emotion and joy.

1. April Fair (Seville): It is celebrated approximately two weeks after Holy Week, with booths, music, flamenco dancing and bullfights. These are days in which the streets are filled with emotion with processions, the singing of saetas and the passing of traditional religious images. In each region of Spain you will see that Holy Week is experienced in a particular way and with a different atmosphere. Those of Seville , Málaga , León , Zamora , Valladolid , Salamanca , Cuenca or Cartagena are some of the best known, but there are many more, each of them with its special attractiveness and uniqueness. Tamboradas are also very famous, such as those during Holy Week in Hellín or Calanda . In addition, the April agenda includes other important popular events such as the April Fair in Seville or the Moors and Christians celebrations in Alcoy .


2. La Tomatina (Buñol, Valencia): Held on the last Wednesday of August, it is a tomato battle considered the largest food war in the world. Thousands upon thousands of people make their way from all corners of the world to fight in this 'World's Biggest Food Fight' where more than one hundred metric tons of over-ripe tomatoes are thrown in the streets. There is limited accommodation for people who come to La Tomatina, so many people take the easier option of staying in nearby Valencia just 38km to Bunol by bus or train. Technically the festival does not begin until one brave soul has climbed to the top of a two-story high, greased-up wooden pole and reached the coveted ham at the top. In practice this process takes a long time and the festival starts despite no one reaching the meaty prize. The signal for the beginning of the fight is firing of water cannons, and the chaos begins. Once it begins, the battle is generally every man for himself. La Tomatina this year is the 28th of august.
