Holy Week with parades and processions is always worth seeing. The local statues of saints are solemnly carried out of the churches and through the town. The penitent penitents stand or walk under the heavy carrying frames, often in the special penitent costume with the pointed hats.
Fairs with carousels and stalls have a long tradition in Andalusia. The largest event on the Costa del Sol is the Feria de Málaga, but the most famous, colorful and eye-catching is the Feria de Sevilla. Due to the many carriages, horses, caballeros and Sevillana-dancing women, traditionally dressed in colorful flamenco robes, it is an unforgettable experience. In the smaller towns there is also celebrations, often with carousels and stalls, but without carriages or riders and less of the traditional costumes.
