For vacationers from all over the world, Spain has special charm. There are more reasons to spend your holiday in Spain other than the historic monuments and famous sightseeing places. The festivals of the land are known for their unique charm and tourists from across the world throng Spain at the time of festivals. These festivals display varied moods. Some are marked for their sombreness and traditions while other are known for their entertainment and fun.

You could visit the spectacular carnival of Cadiz. The Cadiz carnival is one of the best loved, as well as being one of the oldest, Spanish carnivals. The town goes nuts - there really is no other way to describe the crazy atmosphere that descends on this otherwise peaceful place. People sing, dance and leap around like lunatics with fleas. One of the funniest things is witnessing small groups of people start singing about anything under the sun, from comical ditties, to international politics. In total contrast would have to be the extremely sombre marches through the streets that come with Valencia’s Semana Santa. These are Catholic ceremonies that attract thousands of visitors every year. While the religious aspect may not be your cup of tea but it is truly amazing to see.

What is even more amazing is the transformation at the city’s mood at the end of the festival, when another festival, called Feria de Abril, begins. In direct contrast to the austerity of the Semana Santa, comes the much dancing and drinking of the Feria de Abril. It is hard to see that many of the people who took part in the sobriety of the first festival also take contribute to the second – but they do!
And the weirdest of all has to be the Fallas festival in Valencia, which falls at the end of March. Huge backpack puppets are made from paper and paraded around the streets like wandering giants. At the end of the festival these are then ceremoniously burnt, which, although may sound a little odd, is really something to behold. The other amazing thing about the Fallas festival is the firework displays that take place three times a day, one conveniently placed at eight in the morning to ensure you’re out of bed!
