PLANS OF JUNE IN SPAIN

Flamenco in the Backstage (Madrid)

The first plan for June goes to all those who like flamenco or not. Since what the pianist Pablo Ruben Maldonado does with flamenco is not a fusion, but an evolution of it along with other styles of music such as classical, jazz, Afro-Caribbean, Indian, pop music ... all this next to his inseparable piano. Therefore, on your trip to Madrid, do not hesitate to visit his show always resting in one of our hotels in the capital:
Urban Hotel in the Carrera de San Jerónimo,
Quinta de los Cedros Hotel in Arturo Soria or the
Apartamentos Matute11 Suites a few steps from the central Plaza Santa Ana.

HOGUERAS DE SAN JUAN IN ALICANTE

In Alicante the "Hogueras" of San Juan are much more than mounds of burning wood, because they coincide with the official festivities of the city and are declared of International Tourist Interest and Intangible Cultural Interest. Of course, ephemeral monuments and pyrotechnics are not lacking. The Bonfires of Alicante, also known as 'Les Fogueres de Sant Joan', are held every year in the city of Alicante from June 19 to 24. At twelve o'clock on the night of June 24 fireworks are launched indicating the beginning of the cremà or burning of the bonfires. You can enjoy the party, the fire and the tradition and try the delicious "coca amb tonyina" (coca with tuna) and "bacores" (brevas). Come and experience the atmosphere of San Juan in Alicante and rest in one of the Rusticae hotels in the province.

Falles del Pirineo (Huesca)

The fault (torch) and the lighthouse (light that can be seen from afar), are the two undisputed protagonists in all the denominations (Huesca, Catalonia, Andorra and France) where the Fallas del Pirineo are celebrated. In the province of Huesca, at the end of June in towns of the regions of Sobrarbe and La Ribagorza, they make routes full of light and color from the nearest mountain to the town to the rhythm of traditional music. To live this experience we recommend Terra Bonansa and Acebo de Casa Muria hotels, hotels located in or near Bonansa, Pont de Suert or Laspaules.

SAN JUAN IN A CORUÑA

These festivities are a reference of the peninsular northwest, since they last no less than 11 days! From June 14 to June 24, this city offers a lot of activities for everyone who wants to celebrate the arrival of summer with this festival declared of National Tourist Interest: concerts, sardines, activities for children with "San Xoan pequeniño". The sea, the night and the fire come together so that the magic of the solstice floods everything. And as a cherry, stay at one of the Rusticae hotels in the province, such as the Altaïr or A Casa Antiga do Monte

BATTLE OF THE WINE IN HARO (LA RIOJA)

Devotion and fun have made one of the most unique festivals in La Rioja: the Battle of Haro Wine. On Saturday, June 29, the vaqueros go to the hermitage of the Riscos de Bilibio and celebrate a mass in honor of their patron. Then the battle begins, in which the participants throw themselves red wine until they are soaked. The party is completed with a lunch based on snails, "las vueltas" to the center of the town to the rhythm of the charangas and the release of wild bulls in the bullring. Very close to Haro is the hotel Rusticae Hospedería Señorío de Briñas. Cheer up!
