Everyone is surprised when we talk about it every year, there is an equestrian event on the beach in the south of Spain at the edge of the ocean.

There are 2 episodes for these races in August.

The first horses races take place on the weekend of 9 to 11 August 2019, the second races are late August from 25 to 27 August.

Where are the horses races on the beachin Spain for 2019

It's in the town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda in the province of Cadiz in Andalusia on the beautiful ocean beaches of the Costa de la Luz.

The scene of this extraordinary show is crazy, the spectators are all in bathing suits and the dates and times of the races are according to the tides schedules, indeed the races can not take place only at low tide. Race Commissioners are present and watch the evolution of the water to give the start of the race. The timing is tight.

You can find all the necessary information on the official website https://www.carrerassanlucar.es/.

But where can there be a party dedicated to octopus in Spain? In Galicia of course.

This year 2019 will not derogate from the tradition in Galicia, there will be as usual the octopus festival (fiesta del pulpo or Galician "Polbo à feira") in Ourense. It is a celebration of national tourist interest in Spain.

Where to eat the best octopus in Spain

This holiday is happening at "O Carballiño" and is very popular.

More than 30,000 kg of octopus are tasted (figures are 20,000 to 50,000 kg depending on the source).

But we do not just taste the pulpo Gallega, we eat many traditional dishes of Galicia as "el pan de Cea", many kinds of empanada, potatoes at will and of course all this washed down with local wine , the "vino de ribeiro".

The octopus is cooked in gigantic and impressive pots in the heart of the city.

Date of the Octopus Festival 2019

The feast takes place on Sunday, August 11, 2019 in O Carballiño on the road between Ourense and Pontevedra.

We do not just enjoy octopus and local products, we listen to music and dance in the balls of the city.

Note that throughout the year in Galicia other festivals dedicated to cephalopods are organized, but the most popular party is this one.
