Fira Nocturna de la Tomàtiga de Ramellet

"Alaró's ten-day patron saint festival, nestled beneath its hilltop castle in the Tramuntana foothills, is anchored by the iconic Cossiers dance, a centuries-old ritual involving six costumed dancers and a devil that winds through the village streets."

Festes de Sant Roc

"One of August's most anticipated Menorcan fiestas, Alaior's Sant Llorenç celebrations pack the town's whitewashed square with caixers dressed in black and white, the dramatic jaleo, and all-night street concerts and pomada bars."

Festes de Sant Llorenç

"A village-scale Menorcan fiesta just outside Maó with a distinctly local flavour: the Saturday night jaleo, the Casino yard gathering on Sunday lunchtime, and an unhurried community intimacy that bigger town fiestas rarely match."

Festes de Sant Climent

"A rare surviving celebration of the Mallorcan art of glosa, where improvisational poets (glosadors) trade witty, satirical verses in the village square in a living oral tradition that has been part of Mallorcan rural culture for centuries."

Fira del Glosat

"One of only three Menorcan fiestas held on the saint's actual feast day, Ferreries adds its own quirk to the jaleo calendar with the unique jaleo d'ases on the third day, a donkey procession alongside the traditional horse display."

Festes de Sant Bartomeu

"The end-of-summer patron saint fiesta of this pretty French-founded village closes August with gegant parades, the Toc de Tambor i Fabiol, double jaleos, and a colourful carrozas procession through the village's French-grid streets."

Festes de Sant Lluís

"Every Assumption night this white hilltop village in the Axarquia opens its plaza to free-flowing local wine, folk music and dancing under the stars in one of the most atmospheric harvest nights on the Malaga coast hinterland."

La Noche del Vino

"Periana, a small Axarquian village that leads Spain in peach cultivation, dedicates three August days to its famous peaches with free tastings, traditional music by pandas de verdiales and a market of local agricultural produce."

Fiesta del Melocotón

"Montilla's harvest festival, declared of Tourist Interest, centres on the traditional Pisa de la Uva grape-treading, an offering of must to the Virgen de las Viñas, equestrian displays at the municipal ring, and a wine tunnel where visitors can taste over a hundred references of the local Montilla-Moriles DO for a token fee."

Fiesta de la Vendimia

"The village of Cea, home of Galicia's most prized PGI-protected round loaves, celebrates its ancient bread-baking tradition with traditional wood-fired oven demonstrations, dough-kneading contests and mass tastings of the bread that has been traded across Galicia for centuries."

Festa do Pan de Cea

"Every first Saturday of September this tiny Axarquian village whitewashes its facades, fills the streets with old farming tools and life-size costumed figures, and distributes thousands of litres of ice-cold ajoblanco almond soup to visitors, closing the night with a great bonfire and flamenco at the Noche de las Candelas."

Fiesta del Ajoblanco

"Bollullos, heart of the Condado de Huelva wine DO, throws a five-day harvest festival with grape treading, wine blessings, flamenco nights and open bodegas in the town that produces some of Andalusia's most underrated white wines."
