The Mercat Medieval de Vic is Catalonia's premier medieval event and one of the largest medieval markets in southern Europe. Every December, the elegant market town of Vic transforms its historic centre into a medieval world with over 500 stalls, theatrical performances, workshops and tens of thousands of visitors. Combined with the atmospheric winter setting and Vic's rich architectural heritage, it's a unique pre-Christmas medieval experience.

March
Las Fallas is one of Spain's most spectacular and UNESCO-recognised festivals — a stunning combination of art, fire, music, and Valencian pride. Every March, the city of Valencia fills its streets with hundreds of enormous satirical sculptures (fallas), only to burn them all to the ground in a magnificent midnight inferno on the final night.
May
The Romería del Rocío is one of the most extraordinary religious and cultural events in the world — a mass pilgrimage to the shrine of the Virgen del Rocío (the White Dove) in the village of El Rocío, on the edge of the Doñana National Park in Huelva, Andalusia.
April
The Feria de Abril (April Fair) of Seville is one of the most joyful and glamorous festivals in Spain — a six-day explosion of flamenco, fine horses, manzanilla sherry, and sevillana dancing that transforms the city's fairgrounds into the most colourful party in Andalusia.
