Fiesta's are a traditional part of Spanish life and as a result there is barely a week goes by without either a national, provincial or local fiesta taking place somewhere along the Costa! These typically involve street parades, music & dance and lots of fireworks! Some are more lavish and noisy than others, but all are worth a visit to get an insight into the Spanish way of life and fun loving culture.
