Spain is known as the land of festivals. There are many cities and villages that are famous for their unique festive fervor. People come out on the streets to have a gala time with their friends and families.

Here we take a look at the the biggest Spanish festivals that have gained international fame over the years.

LA TOMATINA

When: Takes place on the last Wednesday of August every year.
Where: The battle takes place in the small town of Bunol, an hour drive from Valencia.
What: La Tomatina (tomato fight festival) brings together crowds of people every year, ready to have a rollicking time hurling tomatoes at one another.

If you’ve seen the movie ZNMD, you’ve seen this festival. Don’t recollect, here’s the song.

But when being part of La Tomatina, do remember one of the basic rules of the festival; the tomatoes must be squashed before you throw them so that you don’t hurt anyone in the process. Do attend the La Tomatina after party as it will be a night to remember for the rest of your life with over 3500 people grooving to the thumping music and sharing the unforgettable party.

CITY of HUMAN CASTLES

When: June 24 to Sept 24 2015
Where: Tarragona City
What: Tarragona celebrates the tradition of the castells (human castles) which have been awarded the UNESCO intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

This popular event involves people creating human towers up to a height of six to ten tiers. What makes it more interesting is the fact that you can join a guided tour and be a part of the collies or teams and learn how to build human towers.

LAS FALLAS

When: March 14 to March 19
Where: In the city of Valencia.
What: Valencia welcomes the spring with ‘Fallas’ which is open to all. During the festivities, the streets are converted into monumental, yet transitory cardboard statues carefully built over the course of the months, known as ‘ninots’, which provide an ironic, humorous commentary on the political, economic and social debates of the current situation; these are then devoured by fire in a unique spectacle. The city is transformed by the the rhythm of local brass bands and the percussive soundtrack composed by thousands of firecrackers, firework displays, and lively street festivals.
