Holidays in Spain: The best entertainment for tourists
Travel to warm countries has long been a weakness of people who are used to seeing the changeable weather outside the window and are bogged down in the routine of everyday life. Tourist entertainment is not available to everyone; it requires some savings, but these investments are fully repaid by a rush of bright emotions and a new look at reality.
 
But Spain is considered an ideal travel destination for recreation and entertainment. Some may immediately think of Casino Gran Madrid or Casino Barcelona, but there are many other great places to visit.

Before we begin our journey through the major events held in Spain, our team suggests readers consider online pokies instant withdrawal in Australia at payid-pokies.net. This type of entertainment is available to everyone and allows you to make a profit in addition to expenses.
 
But lovers of noisy entertainment have just a great opportunity to visit the following festivals in this location:
 
  • La Tomatina: Last Wednesday in August. Located in Buñol, Valencia. It is one of the most famous festivals in the world, where participants organise a massive battle with tomatoes. The fun event attracts tourists and locals every year. Here, you can throw tomatoes at someone, creating real chaos.
  • San Fermín: Held July 6-14 in Pamplona, Navarra. This festival is famous for its running with the bulls. A risky process involves running away from angry bulls through the city streets. Next, a bullfight is held with the participation of these same animals. San Fermín also includes parades, music and dance events.
  • Flamenco festival: Held March-June in Seville and other cities in Andalucía. The festival above celebrates the art of flamenco, one of Spain's most popular cultural elements. The event includes concerts, dance performances, workshops and exhibitions.
  • Carnival: Occurs the week before Easter (usually in February or March) in the Canary Islands: Tenerife, Las Palmas, and Cadiz. These grand events with colourful costumes, parades, street dances and concerts give unique emotions. The most famous carnival festival takes place in Tenerife and Cadiz, where traditional contests and street performances occur.
  • Fiesta de Moros y Cristianos: Held in July and August in Alicante, Murcia and Valencia. The festival replicates historical battles between Muslims and Christians in the Middle Ages. Participants dress in costumes in the style of that era, and the cities are decorated, parades, plays and theatrical battles take place.
  • Picasso Festival: Held in March and is considered a tourist entertainment in Málaga in honour of the birthday of the great artist Pablo Picasso. Events include exhibitions of his works, lectures and musical and theatrical performances.
