Spanish Fiestas
Spain is renown for its wonderful festivals.
In this book I explore the world of the Spanish Fiesta.
While many will have heard of the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona or La Tomatina, the massive tomato fight held each year in Buñol, there are many many more taking place in every town and village in Spain.
Some are Wild, with huge food fights. In Haro each year there is a massive wine battle. Other fiestas feature meringue, candy, grapes, flour, eggs and other missiles being thrown.
Some are Wonderful such as the magnificent Semana Santa celebrations and the fantastic human towers of Catalonia.
Then, of course, there are the Weird ones and there are lots of these! Baby jumping over real babies, attending your own funeral while still alive, burying the sardine and a multitude of others which will both amuse and shock you!

This has to be the best ever comprehensive book on Spanish Festivals. I loved it! The author must have spent many months laboriously researching his chosen topic. I would highly recommend this book to anyone visiting Spain.
