Once the holiday–makers have gone back home and the
heat of the summer is more bearable, September is a great month to travel to
Spain. It is still warm and you have more chances to interact with the locals
and discover the real Spain and its culture. If you have the opportunity to
take your holidays when everyone is coming back to work, there are few things to
choose from in Spain.
Religious
celebration
Religious events are of course important in Spain, one
of the oldest one being the Fiestas Patronales de La Virgen de Gracia, on the 8th.
These celebrations have taken place for more than 400 years in Albacete in
honour of the local Virgin. Expect procession and flower offering to the
Virgin, but also fireworks, music and gunpowder!
Wine festival
The Rioja is certainly one of the most known Spanish
products and it has its own festival, held around the third week-end of
September on the day of San Mateo. In fact, this wine has a very important
place in the Spanish culture and its harvesting is celebrated in Logrono, the
capital of the Rioja region.
If you need a little help with the language before
going to Spain in September, try this.
