Spanish fiestas in Andalucia :

Spain is renowned for its fiestas, in fact there doesn’t seem to be a weekend in the summer months when you are not invited to a fiesta somewhere! Our own fiesta in Los Rios, includes two nights of dancing in our local square to a wonderful Spanish group, a free community paella down by the river on the Saturday and a great opportunity to experience a local fiesta in rural Spain.

The best time to visit for Spanish fiestas is during the summer months.
