  1. Mi celebración es Día de los Reyes Magos. La celebración es sobre Dios, y jesús. Celebran teniendo una cena grande. La celebración es sobre la visita de los Reyes Magos (visit of the Magi). Ellos celebran la visita de jesús. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epiphany_(holiday)

  2. I chose La Tomatina. It is a food fight festival held on the last Wednesday of August. It is held in Buñol, Spain. It is the worlds biggest food fight and they use over-ripe tomatoes. Since 2013 they have been limiting it to 20,000 people.

  3. I discovered "Las Fallas de Valencia." This is celebrated in Spain during March 15th-19th to honor Saint Joseph. During the other months of the year, groups called "casales falleros" fundraise and begin to build "monuments." These monuments are called "Fallas," and will be included in parades during the first 4 days. The "monuments" are typically political figures, and get filled with firecrackers and "ninitos." During the parades, citizens will dance and dress up in costumes. On the last day at sundown, they will set all the "monuments" on fire and let them burn completely.

  4. I found "Esta Major De Gracias". It starts in August and it is where blocks compete against each other to see who can decorate their streets the best. It is in Barcelona and the neighborhood that they do this in is named Grácia. This is a week long celebration that is full of workshops, parades, concerts and so much more. People love how much this brings communities together and I think it is cool that it is a community working as one. There are usually long tables set out so people that pass by can sit down and eat some of the traditional food too.

  5. I found a celebration titled “Semana Santa”. This celebration takes place in Spain! The people of Spain celebrate the “Passion of Christ” in this religious festival. It begins on Palm Sunday and finishes on Good Friday! This festival includes floats and people walking along the streets as some festivals in Spain do!

  7. I found "cascamorras". This holiday in in Baza,Spain. In this holiday every 100 years people cover themselves in grease. This is because a statue of the virgin Mary was stolen. The statue was stolen over 500 years ago. After the greasing a big party is thrown. It begins on September 6th and ends September 9th.
