Some fo the diferent styles you can meet are: Alegrias (I am not good recognising them, till I heard at the middle the famous "tirititram" lol Bulerias y Soleares, normally is like poems with a satiric comment, there are many diferent ones, inside this style Canasteras (sorry not good at all with this one) but it is famous thanks to Camaron de la Isla y Paco Lucia Fandangos (very popular at the cadiz carnavals) Rumbas Saetas (typical songs on Easter procesions) Sevillanas, no need to explain this ones lol Tangos and Tanguillos Verdiales from Malaga area Granainas, Guajiras, Lorquena, malagueñas, Milongas, Rondeñas, Seguiriyas, Taranta, Tientos, Cartageneras & Colombianas And more, this are only some fo them .... lol

Local Customs: Holy Cross (May 3th) Granada

The whole country, but Granada is my favourite.
Crosses of flowers are set up in towns all over Spain and in which Mayos, essentially love songs offered up to the Virgin, are sung and unmarried girls are serenaded.
I love it, what can I say?

Local Customs: The "Córdoba Patio" Festival (May 6th to 19th)

This festival has been celebrated for centuries.
It is a competition to decide who has decorated the best patio.
Also on the same month, you have the cross one, the patio one, the wine one and the festival, all weekends have a festival.

Local Customs: Sevilla April fair

Takes place two weeks after holy week.
I am personally not a great fan of this festival, as most of the casetas are private and if you do not know anyone in Sevilla, you will not enjoy in its best. I prefer local ones that are easier and not so crowded
Flamenco dresses, horses, lights, music, wine, food..... all together make this festival unique.
You need lots of energy for this 10 days of partying lol

Ahh, Andalucia :-)) I got a bit homesick, so here I am :-)) I learned Spanish in Malaga, so Andalucia will always be my most favourite of Spain. And Alpujarras and Grazalema.. ahh :-) Back for more :-)) | karenincalifornia Sat Jun 23, 2007 18:15 UTC

I'm going to live in Seville for 2.5 months this spring and hope to travel to other places in Andalucia, especially places with festivals and cultural events. This page has a lot of great info! | RickinDutch Thu Apr 6, 2006 23:01 UTC
