🎭 Culture & Arts in Spain

Behind the beaches, Spain's coast is steeped in centuries of tradition, and summer is when much of it comes alive. Towns re-enact medieval battles between Moors and Christians, carry their patron saints through the streets in solemn processions, and stage historical pageants like Cartagena's Carthaginians and Romans. These are the events that show you a place's roots — colourful, heartfelt and often centuries old. Here's what's on in culture and tradition while you're here.
