Interesting Folklore and Fiestas in Madrid
July 4, 2012Madrid is the capital of Spain
which in itself means that it is quite developed and modern hence a
lot can be expected from it. Even with all the modernity of the city,
the inhabitants still refer to it as the village. This is because in
most its quarters, traditions are very alive even after the villages
melted into the city life. There are many events that you will find
interesting in the city during the year and what you experience will
depend on the time at which you are within the city for your holiday.
New Year: this is perhaps the very first celebration of the
year. It is an event that is nothing less of colorful and you will
enjoy every beat when it catches you here in the city. People in
their numbers flock in Puerta del Sol and rock the night away and
when the clock strikes midnight, each tries to eat a total of twelve
grapes as good luck for the new year. This is one event that is even
watched by those who do not manage to attend and the party goes on
and on till morning breaks.
Three Magi procession: the event
takes place on the 5th of January. It is not only celebrated in
Madrid but also in many other Spanish towns. It can also be very
interesting to witness the procession.
Fiesta de San Isidro:
it normally takes place on 15th May and it is a fiesta that is in
honor of the Madrid patron. It involves numerous concerts and is
considered to be a spectacle of all year events. It is also during
this fiesta that you will have a taste of best bullfights and public
performances.
Summer in the Village: this is an event which
is normally organized by the town hall and which is composed of
different cultural events and takes place in August and July. If you
are one of the people who love learning a thing about new cultures,
you will find it very interesting, location
