The reason why Spain is known as the country of festivals is that each year they have countless festivals. One of the types of festivals in Spain goes by the name of Falles. This festival is used to celebrate and remember when the monuments were originally burnt.

Another popular festival in Spain is the Festival of San Fermín. This festival is normally nine days long, and it is used to celebrate Saint Fermin, who was a holy man in Spain. There is also the Seville Fair, which is held after Easter. During this time, bullfighting occurs every afternoon during the week.

Spain is known for having a lot of festivals which is why they are called the country of fiestas. One of those fiestas is called the Semana Santa. This is a religious fiesta which is also known as Holy Week. People go to the streets and celebrate in costume the Holy Week. They also play music. The Pamplona Bull Run is probably the most popular and well-recognized because this is where people run with the bulls and hope not to get hurt.

Similar to Mardi Gras, Spain also celebrates a fiesta similar to that called Carnival where everyone gets dressed up. Tomatina Tomato Fight is probably the messiest fiesta because this is a really big tomato fight in the streets with thousands of people throwing the red fruit at one another.
