This is the common mode of any fiesta celebrated in Spain.

Salamanca festivals

Salamanca enjoys many interesting traditional festivals that are celebrated with vigor in its villages. The Ciudad Rodrigo Carnival celebrated here is similar to the famous Pamplona San Fermin festival where bulls run through cordoned and directed town streets to the local bullring with waiting amateur-toreros seizing the opportunity to prove their braveness by running ahead of the bulls.

The Fiesta del Almendro takes place in February to celebrate the blossoming of almond trees with people crossing River Duero in boats to and fro Spain and Portugal.

Easter Monday is celebrated with “:Lunes de Aguas” following the tradition of the middle ages where people used decorated boats to cross the river to carry back prostitutes barred from celebrating Lent which is a most religious festival of 40 days. The Corpus Christi festival is another beautiful festival that offers splendid processions.

La Alberca in Salamanca celebrates the fiesta of Ofertorio on August 15th in honor of Virgin Mary with a lot of regional attire in a traditional folkloristic manner.
