Asturias has a unique culture that celebrates many festivals in a way unlike anywhere else on Earth. If you fancy making one of these events the centre of your holiday we have a few recommendations:
Festival of Santa Maria Magdalena
Held in the small town of Llanes, this festival is dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene and sees groups of men and boys carry huge logs throughout the town to build a gigantic bonfire. The incredible spectacle of the finished fire makes this a great celebration for kids and adults alike.
Lent Carnival
Held at the start of lent, this festival takes place across every city in the region as revellers dress up, parade and play games. The day is dedicated to entertaining the younger generation while the evening is often more aimed at adults with a music festival or other activities running into the night.
