Grito de Lares is on September 23rd, this holiday celebrates when Puerto Rico first fought for independence from Spain. September 23, 1868, six-hundred to one-thousand men joined to revolt against Spain; the men were poorly armed and trained. The revolt was supposed to happen on the 29th but due to betrayal, it happened on the 23rd. The men met at a farm owned by Manuel Rojas in Pezuelas, Lares and the men took control of Lares. The day after the revolt, the Spanish militia ended the revolt. The men were killed in battle or from yellow fever in prison, some of the men escaped or were released when Spain declared amnesty and released the prisoners. It is believed that the men did not succeed because not all Puerto Ricans were in support of the revolt and because of the betrayal that resulted in the battle being on the 23rd.

The running of the bulls is celebrated in Irunea/ Pamplona. It is celebrated every year from July 6th to July 14th. The bulls are lead through the streets of the old quarter as far as the bull ring by runners. After the launch of two rockers the bulls charge behind the runners for 825 meters. The fiestas are celebrated in honor of San Fermin. People participating must be at least 18 years old. People are not permitted to take any photographs while inside the run, or from the fences. The encierro requires cool nerves, quick reflexes and a good level of physical fitness.

I would not like to watch the running of the bulls. I believe that it is very dangerous, however, it is part of Hispanic culture so I respect the running of the bulls.

The snail Festival is call the L’Aplec del Caragol and is located in Lleida. It is held on the 24th through the 26th of May. There are many activities such as concerts, charanga music and competitions. One of the competitions is how many snails can you stomach. This festival has been around since 1980. It was thought of by a group of friends that were hanging out on the banks of the River Segre.

The babies are laid down on a mattress in a line. Men dressed as devils make the leap and jump over the babies. Taking place in this is supposed to keep evil spirits away from the babies. Injuries take place every year but only to the Oafs doing the jumping.

La Tomatina Tomato Fight is the biggest food fight that happens every year. Around 30,000 people descend on the Spanish town of Bunol. They throw more than 240,000 pounds of tomatoes at each other. This celebration happens on the last Wednesday of August. It is a tradition ever since there was a fight among members of a carnival crowd in 1945.

Los Indianos is a festival that sees thousands of Palmeros dressed in white and take to the streets and throw talcum powder at each other. They do this for hours on end. The festivals’s name refers to the Canarian migrants who looked for a better life in Latin America in the 19th century and were greeted warmly on their return to the island of La Palma. The talcum powder tossing, is thought to be linked to the disinfectant powder sprinkled on the travelers to avoid the spread of disease.

Every year in Las Nieves, Galicia, there is a festival that celebrates being alive in honor of Saint Marta de Ribarteme. The celebration is just like a mass, but you bring your own coffin. You can carry it, or be carried in it. It focuses on how the Grim Reaper missed you this year, and you’re still alive! After mass there is a procession through town followed by fireworks. This can be considered one of the strangest festivals in Spain.

When a earthquake hit Lima, Peru, in the 1700's, it destroyed everything but a mural of the Lord of Miracles. A brotherhood 2500 strong carries the 2 ton alter through the streets. Everyone wears purple, the color of the nuns in charge of looking after the mural. The cargadores, carriers, and their female accomplices wave incense burners and intone hymns. The crowd eats turron, a nougat, and picarones, fritters.

ReplyDeletePeople gather in a festival that they know basically as the Alive Festival. People who have had a near death experience gather to celebrate being alive. When you join in on the festival, you bring your own coffin. The festival is to honor Saint Marta de Ribarteme (the Patron Saint of resurrection). They celebrate it in Las Nieves in Galicia.
