Fiestas & Culture in Hondon & Spain

Hondon Villas Real Estate
It's been a long time since Spain allowed Fiestas ... such a vital part of the Spanish culture and outdoor lifestyle. Every village, town or city has them in abundance. Some are truly spectacular. You should allways attend if nearby ... most are FREE !!!
The Medieval Festival is very popular across the Costa Blanca. Often they come with artisan crafts, markets, music, jesters, devils, parades and games. The main plaza and nearby streets are dressed in bright colours and the vendors, musicians and actors in suitable medieval "fashion". The atmosphere is fun with lots to see and do for all ages.
This little collection sums up the icons and symbols of Spain and it's culture! .. flamenco, tapas, bull fighting, dance, sunshine, beach and more. The Hondon Valley is a traditional area for agriculture / farming of almonds, grapes, olives and other vegetables. The towns and villages reflect this... and far from touristy.

Another traditional fiesta you can find right across Spain, including the Hondon Valley areas. The giants are usually hollow figures several meters tall, with a painted paper maché head and arms, the rest of the body being covered in cloth and other clothing. A person gets inside and dances or parades the street. They can be very funny as their expression never changes, not dissimilar to the giants in "It's a Knockout" years ago!

May/Early June, you must see the Alicante Ninots exhibition in the Plaza Séneca. They are exhibited in the streets in the city centre and harbour/marina areas. Ninots are huge statues made of papier-mache, organized together to make the multi-faceted story. These are called “Hoguera”, a large satirical monument. Incredibly they are set alight on the 24th June, known as the “Hogueras de San Juan”.
