  Local Data for Costa de la Luz |
Public Holidays and Festivals |
All festivals in the Costa de la Luz contain some important components; music, wine, horses and bulls - all on show during some of the region\'s more colourful affairs. These include the Carnival of Cadiz and the Horse Fair of Jerez (10 – 17 May), and Horse Racing on the beach at Sanlucar de Barrameda (in August). Home of El Rompido, the province of Huelva hosts the most famous romería (open air festivities held at the site of shrines) in Spain - El Rocio in Almonte, which take place during the Feast of Pentecost (Whit Sunday). The small town somehow finds room for more than a million pilgrims. Other, smaller romerías of note in the province are staged at Cartaya, Lepe and Moguer.
