April
Feria de Abril
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.
May
Festival de los Patios de Córdoba
Every May, the residents of Córdoba open the doors of their private courtyards, revealing breathtaking displays of flowers, ceramics and fountains. Declared UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2012, this is one of Spain's most beautiful and photogenic traditions.
September
Fiesta del Cascamorras
The Fiesta del Cascamorras is one of Spain's most extraordinary and bizarre festivals. Every 6 September, a man covered in black grease (the Cascamorras) attempts to run from the town of Guadix to Baza to reclaim a statue of the Virgin of Piedad — while thousands of equally grease-covered locals try to stop him. The result is a spectacular, chaotic, oil-black mass of humanity. Declared a Festival of International Tourist Interest, it's an ancient rivalry turned into joyful, slippery mayhem.
Carreras de Caballos de Sanlúcar
Since 1845, English-style horse races along the shore at low tide. Two three-day cycles in August with Doñana National Park as backdrop.
