August is almost upon us and anyone planning to visit Spain next month may find themselves immersed in some of the most fun and wacky fiestas on earth. Most towns hold their own fiestas, and cities like Madrid have different neighbourhood fiestas each week, so there is always something exciting going on.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a selection of some of the top August fiestas, from the north to the south of Spain:<\/p>\n

International Festival, Santander<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 4-31 August, visitors to Santander can enjoy Cantabria\u2019s biggest cultural event. You\u2019ll find music, art, dance and theatre taking place everywhere from the most grand gardens and palaces to churches and even caves!<\/p>\n

August Fiestas, Ibiza<\/strong><\/p>\n

The parties in Ibiza aren\u2019t just inside the clubs and between 5 and 15 August everyone will be celebrating, with ten days of local fiestas which include fireworks, sporting competitions and a special tribute to the island\u2019s seafaring heritage.<\/p>\n

San Lorenzo Fiestas, Huesca<\/strong><\/p>\n

Head to Huesca in Arag\u00f3n between 9-15 August for a week of fiestas celebrating the city\u2019s Patron Saint, San Lorenzo. Catch traditional music and dancing, parties, religious processions and activities for visitors of all ages this week.<\/p>\n

Semana Grande in Bilbao and San Sebasti\u00e1n<\/strong><\/p>\n

From 9-16 August San Sebasti\u00e1n will be awash with merrymakers, free concerts and theatre, pop up bars across the city, fireworks and fun throughout both day and night, while 16-24 August it will be Bilbao\u2019s turn.<\/p>\n

Octopus Festival in O Carballi\u00f1o, Galicia<\/strong><\/p>\n

10 August sees the annual Octopus Festival take place in the Galician town of O Carballi\u00f1o and is the perfect moment to sample the tasty local delicacy, Pulpo Gallego. Around 25,000 kilos of octopus will be cooked up \u2013 all washed down with Ribeiro wine!<\/p>\n

Feria de M\u00e1laga<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between 16 and 23 August M\u00e1laga is the place to be, with events, processions and fireworks taking place all over the city. The central point of the Feria is the El Real fairground area, where there\u2019s a definite festival vibe, but you\u2019ll also find plenty of action on the beach and at the port, as well as within the city\u2019s historic winding streets.<\/p>\n

Walking Festival, La Palma, Canary Islands<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve overindulged with the rest of Spain over the fiesta period, head over to the island of La Palma between 22-24 August for the walking festival. Tours are led in Spanish, English or German and follow different routes across the island, from the \u201crum route\u201d and the \u201ccheese route\u201d, to the less calorific \u201cSistine Chapel of the Atlantic\u201d. As you make your way around on foot, aside from the beautiful scenery you\u2019ll be entertained with live music and traditional celebrations.<\/p>\n

Cider festival, Gij\u00f3n, Asturias<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never tried delicious Asturian cider you\u2019re in for a treat at this annual celebration of the region\u2019s favourite tipple between 26 and 31 August. The festival sees thousands of cider fans head to Gij\u00f3n\u2019s beach where 30,000 litres of cider are given out, as well as cider pouring competitions (it\u2019s an art and much harder than it sounds!) and festivities across the city.<\/p>\n

La Tomatina, Bu\u00f1ol, Valencia<\/strong><\/p>\n

This famous and totally off-the-wall celebration needs little introduction. 27 August is when the town of Bu\u00f1ol near Valencia launches tons of tomatoes on top of eager partygoers and plays host to the world\u2019s biggest tomato fight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
