CHOOSE THE PROGRAM
Festivities, Festivals and Pilgrimages are a constant practice in the South of Europe.

Places with centuries of history, where ancient traditions remain alive and are revived in a territory dotted with churches, sanctuaries, convents, chapels and monasteries, places where people come to fiercely worship throughout the year.

The centuries-old festivals that shine to the rhythm of traditional folklore also exhibit in the public squares tools and handicrafts, closely linked to the people’s daily life and labour needs. Religiosity and the pagan celebration retain their splendour, year after year, thanks to the spirit of its people that bring it all together in merriment, where there is no shortage of marches and parades; singing groups and music bands; sporting events, contests and auctions. Worship as well as popular celebrations attract not only fervent pilgrims seeking miracles and fulfilling promises, but also tourists moved by the echo of traditions, curious about the cultural and heritage sites, to where thousands flock.
 
Popular festivals are unique experiences for both participants and tourists, were you will see ancient traditions, full of a deep symbolism, whether religious or social. During this Festivals the streets overflow with animation, fun, dances, colourful flowers adornments and popular specialties.
