During a week, there are all kind of celebrations and activities all around the town.

There are also Flamenco and regional music performances in Casetas in the fairground and in the city centre. Two major processions take place during the feast. The first is the Tarasca, of pagan origin, which leads out on Wednesday. In this procession, a figure of a woman on a dragon, accompanied by giants wearing big papier maché heads, walks through the streets.

During this week bullfights with horseback lancers are held. Carocas (a traditional satirical competition) are placed around the Plaza Bib Rambla, near the Cathedral, for the people to read and comment on. Carocas are cartoons which humorously highlight the major local and national events that have taken place during the year. They are accompanied by verses which are placed underneath in large panels. From hundreds of cartoons the top twenty are selected.

This Granada fair, though less well known than Seville's, has nevertheless a great deal of charm and appeal. The fairground comprises three parts: the stands area, the swings and attractions, and the access paths to these two parts where you will find many bars and stalls with confectionery and baked potatoes. Each of these paths is decorated with thousands of lamps and lanterns.

The cover of the main façade of the fair is different every year, generating great excitement among the people. The theme is usually some emblematic monument of the city.

The entrance to the Casetas is usually free and you will taste typical Spanish food. As in previous years, the fair will be located at the fairgrounds in Almanjáyar, in the northern part of the city.

In our new Spanish & Ceramic Tile Painting course you will learn how to hand-paint ceramic tiles under the guidance and inspiration of a local ceramicist with many years of experience. The teacher will help guide your technique and discuss with you the design you wish to follow. At the end of the course she will assist you with the glazing of the tile, prior to the firing in a special kiln. The tile you paint allows you to give free rein to your creativity: paint a tile and take it home with you as a unique souvenir from Granada.

Granada is renowned for the quality of its ceramic tiles which decorate houses and courtyards. The Nasrid Palaces of the Alhambra are examples of the beauty of Andalusian culture. This decorative art is one of the legacies of Moorish times and has become a sign of identity of our city.
