Festivities take place throughout the year in different parts of Spain. People in small villages worth visiting, but if you want something really spectacular, try one experience; Semana Santa
Easter Sunday in Spain is something to behold. The procession takes place every day across the country, culminating in the 'big' on Good Friday, when members of a wide variety of brotherhood carry floats through the streets until dawn. The most impressive can be found in Cordoba, Granada, Malaga and Sevilla.
The walking, from bulls

Every morning at 8:00 runners gathered at the beginning of the route called Cuesta de Santo Domingo song, and through San Fermin questions to protect them during the Bull Run. A rocket signals the release of the first bull, followed by another when the last bull has the barn and in the streets of Pamplona to the left. A third rocket tells us that the bulls had reached the 'Plaza de Toros and the fourth shows that the bulls in their pens and the run ended.
