Spanish people are known all over the world with their love to all kinds of spectacular distractions and entertainments, such as impetuous festivals, pompous concerts, and engaging fairs. The greatest number of these captivating shows is held in the capital city of Spain, Madrid.

One of the moat alluring ones is Madrid Carnival, which was revived in 1976 after being abolished for over 40 years by Franco’s regime. This show opens with a tremendous parade along the Paseo de la Castellana, escorting by breathtaking dress competitions and evening concert in the Plaza Mayor.

Arco is one more illustrious outing, known as Europe’s largest contemporary art fair with about 200,000 visitors and spectators annually. It usually lasts for five days, which are believed to be the days of joy, rejuvenation, frolicking, frisking, and gamboling, where almost all the citizens and guests of Madrid take part. About 200 contemporary art galleries exhibit their best works of art during this show, accompanying with informative lectures, related activities, and social events.

International Gourmet Fair will be a real joy for food and wine lovers, as it is an “exhibition” of Madrid best and finest foods and sorts of wine. It was first held in 1987 and since that time is a part of Madrid social life, being organized annually. Traditionally it starts with “Ham Carving Competition” (ham, by the way, is considered to be a delicacy in Spain). Then the wine-tasting follows, a gourmet cook-of (a splendid opportunity for best cooks to compete in preparing various items). Over 700 national and international exhibitors present their pieces of art.

Fiesta de San Isidro is a “crazy” show, holding annually in May, and being accompanied with people dancing amidst the streets, singing, gamboling, romping, and releasing from their negative emotions in this way. This madness lasts for about ten days, so there is enough time in order to unwind and relax completely.
