Local Fiestas and Ferias are events of Spanish culture that should be experienced. This is the moment when every town and village strives to put on a splendid show, not only for themselves but also for those who come from afar to admire and enjoy the Fiestas and Ferias.
 
There are several thousand Fiestas and Ferias celebrated every year in Andalucia, including fairs, pilgrimages, carnivals and religious processions. Fiestas tend to be for a day while a Feria is a 5-6 day long event you can also expect to find fairground rides and outside bars and restaurants selling local traditional foods. In fact, there is scarcely a day in the year without its Fiesta, with special emphasis on the periods before and after the autumn harvests. Each town has its own patron saint and yearly procession.
