Caceres
This next festival may sound a little sexist but it isn’t – even though it involves setting up a giant straw man and setting him aflame. . . One of the grandest, not-to-be-MISSED events is in Caceres, the very illustrious Woman Festival Don’t be afraid, it’s also a world-wide musical festival. Dates vary throughout the month, so always check online for details.
Cordoba
Cordoba provides two very large events throughout this season: the first which is Cruces de Mayo – a funny, but somewhat serious and competitive competition to have the best-decorated patio of all the rest.
Second, the Cordoba Festival, which includes an excellent breathtaking bullfight. As well, include in this trip the nearby ganders of Granada and Seville.
