Spanish Fiesta ¦ Spanish Festival ¦ Holiday Event
For those that have never been, a Spanish fiesta is an unforgettable event. Most start in the morning with the locals going to church to provide thanks for the fiesta and the produce. The ceremony is preceded with the church bells ringing a prolonged and pronounced chime, announcing the ceremony’s start.
Spanish Fiesta ¦ The Parade
After church, the fiesta itself starts with a procession through the streets, with the local children dressed in bright costumes, followed by a float with more children dressed as saints and other religious deities, as the adults cheer and proudly seek out their own children.
Following the parade, the fiesta’s main event begins: the food! Long tables run the length of the main street into the town square, where more tables are laid out, with platters and bowls bursting with aromatic and colourful food. Local bar owners throw open the doors, from where bottle after bottle of local wine is served as families and friends feast on the magnificent paella.
Spanish Fiesta ¦ Paella
After the meal is washed down and the tables tidied away, the fireworks and the bonfire are lit, heralding the start of the evening celebrations. Loud music, both traditional and modern, fills the streets and bounces of the walls of the old houses. Children chase one another through the streets, while their parents dance and their grandparents occupy the benches around the square, talking and reminiscing, remembering when they too danced and ran through the streets. A Spanish fiesta, for the locals, truly is a family event; for the tourist, it will be one of the most memorable days of your holiday, one you will recollect for years to come.
