"Did you know that last year over 50,000 Britain’s actually registered to live in Spain? |

This has changed dramatically, within the last few years, to incorporate those with younger families.

Those Britain’s coming to Spain, without Spanish and sometimes those with, will struggle to find well paid employment." | ||||||||

In the very most southern part of Andalucia- white sandy beaches host some of the best surfing championships in the world. |

True to life, most cultural events go hand in hand with a party and a holiday. February is carnival month and their are many too choose from.. The wildest are said to be in Sitges and Cádiz. Valencia in March, has a week-long party known as Las Fallas. The event boosts all-night dancing, colourful processions and spectacular fireworks. In Semana Santa (Holy Week), the week leading up to Easter Sunday, there are many parades throughout Spain, although Seville is by far the most popular. In late April, Seville's hosts another famous event, the week-long Feria de Abril. |
||||||||
This is a perfect counter balance to the Sevillianas and the visiting Spanish who celebrate and enjoy the carnival after the religious fervour of Semana Santa. The summer brings many small and large feria's and carnivals to towns and cites throughout Spain. The last wednesday in August sees the Valencian town of Buñol go crazy, with La Tomatina. The surplus stocks from the recent tomato harvest are used to facilliate a friendly riot. The Running of the Bulls (Fiesta de San Fermín) in Pamplona in July is probably Spain's most famous festival. Of course Spain has so much more to offer than a beach line although for some.. that is more than enough. |
