Well, the new year is here so let the new holidays begin. Spain has many different holidays each month in each region. Starting in February with the carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife (the second most important holiday in the world right after Rio de Janeiro) and continuing throughout the country.
This is a time of the year to celebrate to a latin beat. There is a huge parade which honors its chosen carnival queen and her court for that year, there are costume contests, and music, dancing and lots of energy all around the streets. Each city celebrates a little differently but one thing is for sure the fun and excitement is the same throughout this cheerful country.
