Tomorrow will be 15th of August. The middle of the moth. Catholican people we are going to celebrate the Virgen of August. The Catholic Tradition says that the Virgin Maria went up to the Sky.
This event will be celebrated in most of the villages and countries of Spain with great festivals. Not only are they celebrating this festival but also 5, 6, or even 9 days of festivals. These days give us the chance of finding with friends and neigbourgs that perhaps and due to our daily routines we couldn't have been getting in touch. It is a moment of reunion, celebration, happyness. Most of groups of friends will share their tables with products of their villages such as tomatoes, vegetables, lambs, etc .... food, food, music and more food.
But here in Spain, most concretely in the smaller villages, these kind of festivals wouldn't be the same without an animal: Bulls and cows.
Every day all people will join in the streets or in the main square to see or to participate in that spectacle, where some of these animals will be on the streets, and people will run behind or in front of them. Some times they will have to jump or even the animals will jump the wooden fence to avoid dangers. But most of people enjoy with that spectacles. Without them, the local festivals wouldn't be the same. In each country this kind of festivals are celebrated of different ways. But the fact is that the ancien tratitios suvive. If we forget our backgrounds, we wouldn't be the same. Because in my humble opinion thay have left a mark in our way of living.
Music and happiness are common point in most parts of the world in these days.

(1) Yes! You wrote this correctly! (not "Everyday")
"In each counTY/REGION this kind of festivaL IS celebrated IN different ways."
ReplyDeleteI think probably I will be wrong but I refer Festivals in plural because :
1.- In Spanish we say: Fiestas
2.- Because they are some days, as I wrote before: 7, 8 or even 9 days.
In different ways: Of different ways. De formas diferentes. I think you are right with your correction, due to I made a translation from spanish.
Thanks Matt.
