Spanish fiesta
Peninsular party tradition
A Spanish fiesta is a festival or celebration, especially one with music, dancing, and traditional customs.
The term often refers specifically to religious holidays or saints' days celebrated in Spain and Latin American countries, though it applies to any lively public celebration with a Spanish or Hispanic character: The town's annual Spanish fiesta draws thousands of visitors.
