Spanish Festivals & Fiestas
Spanish Festivals and Fiestas are a celebration of what it means to be a Spaniard to be a part of and to share a common National and Local History and Culture…so with that said let’s explore some of the many celebrations that take place throughout this colorful country.
The year of Spanish festivals and fiestas celebration starts off in January with La Fiesta de la Reconquista (Festival of the Conquest) in Granada to celebrate the taking back of the city from the Moors in 1492 with a number of parades outside the historic city hall. On January 5th in most cities around Spain the procession of the Three Kings takes place to celebrate the arrival of the Three Wise Men in the afternoon before Epiphany day, bringing presents for children. On January 17th Dia de San Antonio Abad patron of the animals is celebrated throughout the Peninsula followed by the feast of St. Fabian and St. Sebastian on January 20th when the whole town of San Sebastian dresses up in celebration. On January 29th Fiesta de San Valero patron saint of the city of Zaragoza where locals and visitors share pieces of a giant Roscon (a sweet pastry made out of flour, sugar, milk, eggs).
February
Spanish Festivals in February start off with Carnival being celebrated throughout Spain, Madrid’s Carnival was revived in 1976 after being prohibited under Franco’s Regime. It might not be one of the bigger ones but it still a lot of fun, I remember going with one of my many cousins to many of the celebrations especially the one that ends on Ash Wednesday with the traditional Burial of la Sardina (sardine) Parade where all participants are dressed in black and carry a cardboard sardine in a coffin to be buried at La Fuente de los Pajaritos symbolizing the beginning of Lent. If you are looking to be a part of the Carnaval celebrations the biggest ones take place in Barcelona, Cadiz, Jerez and Sitges. Throughout the month of February you can attend The Seville Tapas Fair, the city of Sevilla devotes itself to catering to tapa’s lovers providing a perfect opportunity for visitors to sample some authentic Spanish Cuisine. Towards the end of the month the Jerez Flamenco Festival takes place starting on February 25th and ending on March 12th . Here thousands of flamenco students gather each year to attend workshops and classes, a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn from the masters. Even if you are not lucky enough to get a student invitation if you love flamenco it is still worth making the journey to view some of the most famous bailaores of our time perform at the Teatro Villamarta.
March

Pocket Projector Makes Cinema Everywhere
As a very keen movie watcher, I believe that only cinemas present the fascination of movies completely because of the exceptionally large screen and marvelous acoustic effect. However, during week days, my desire to go to cinema and watch a movie always struggles with my exhaustion after a whole day’s work, mostly, my laziness wins; while on weekends, what I wanna do is only to have a big rest at home so that things like going to cinema will be absolutely forgotten. For this reason, I have missed quite a few opportunities to enjoy gorgeous movies in the cinema until last month.
Several weeks ago, when surfing the Internet and looking at some novel gadget, I took notice of a type of portable projector. It is said that this kind of projector could give a projection screen of 5 to 50 inches and a high resolution which will command the visual effect of a cinema. Moreover, this is a portable projector of quite a small size. With the hope of taking a cinema to my home, I decided to order one and to have a try.
Soon I received my order. It is such a cool thing and not a bit like those traditional projectors. I could easily hold it in my hand like holding a mobile phone. In spite of the cute size, the little guy made me amazed at what it could do.
I can lie on bed and point the thing straight up. In a dark room, I will have myself a huge, bright movie played on the ceiling.
Or I can park the projector on a little tripod – it comes with a tiny, screw-in tripod adapter – and plan a dorm-room Wii marathon onto my T-shirt.
Or I can place it on my airplane tray table and project onto the seat back in front of me. (Yes, I have tried it.) I got a dazzlingly bright, sharp, vivid video image, so that my immediate seatmates and I can all watch.
When the weather is fine in the evening, I will put the projector and some food on the lawn, sharing an open-air movie with my friends. Guess on what is the movie projected? A bed sheet, it really works. Some friends told me that my lawn is the best cinema they had ever experienced.
With the pretty marvelous projector, I obtained not only a home cinema but also the happiness of sharing the latest movies with my friends. That’s so sweet.
