Fun facts.There’s no tooth fairy in Spain!!

But don’t worry – those teeth don’t get wasted! Instead of the famous tooth fairy, when Spanish children lose a tooth they put it under their pillow for a magical mouse called Ratoncito Pérez. Just like the tooth fairy, little Pérez collects the tooth and leaves money or a small gift in its place.

The Spanish love to chill out.

The Spanish enjoy taking things a little easier, the average Spaniard devotes 16 out of the 24 hours every day to leisure, including eating, drinking and sleeping.

Traditions.Going for Tapas – Tapas is extremely popular with tourists who visit Spain. A tapa is not a type of food, it's a way of eating it. Tapas are small portions, but they can be of any of Spain's many traditional dishes.

Flamenco - Flamenco is the most famous Spanish tradition but also one that is often misunderstood. Flamenco is not a dance but does sometimes have dancing in it, rather it's a musical style with far more emphasis on the guitar, vocals, and rhythm than on the dancing.

Bullfighting - Bullfighting, the most controversial of Spanish traditions, is a mixed blessing for Spain. Many tourists are very curious to see it and view it as a fascinating insight into Spanish culture, but it is also a stain on the country's reputation for others. Bullfighting is nowhere near as popular as it used to be.

Festivals.Semana Santa.

Known more commonly as Holy Week. Throughout many parts of Spain, decorative parades take to the streets every day throughout the week leading up to Easter. Members of local parishes and religious brotherhoods parade floats depicting Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary throughout the city.

These processions have been taking place throughout Spain for centuries, and look much the same as they did hundreds of years ago. The elaborate floats, traditional costumes, and somber music played by live bands make for an Easter celebration unlike any other.

Festivals.San Fermin (Pamplona Bull Run)

A controversial yet popular festival that draws hundreds of reckless people and hundreds more eager spectators, Pamplona's Bull Runmight just be the most action-packed traditional festival in Spain.

Each morning throughout the duration of the festival, participants and bulls take to the streets in a nail-biting race to the bull ring, where a bullfight will take place later in the day.

The first official documented celebration of San Fermín took place in 1591.

Festivals.‘La Tomatina’ - Tomato Fight.

The food of choice at ‘La Tomatina’ is, unsurprisingly, tomatoes. Messy? Yes. Unforgettably fun? Also yes.

It all started in 1945, when a disruption during a parade resulted in spectators and participants throwing tomatoes from a nearby fruit stand at each other. The tradition caught on, and now every year on the fourth Wednesday in August, Buñol transforms from a sleepy village into party central.

Festivals.Las Fallas

Throughout several nights in mid-March, the streets of Valencia come alive with giant paper sculptures, painstakingly handcrafted in ornate detail. Then, on the last night, most of the sculptures, or fallas, are burned in epic bonfires throughout the city. A select few are saved from the blazes every year and end up in Valencia's Fallas Museum.

The first documented Las Fallas celebration took place in 1784, and each year it's grown bigger and better than ever. It takes place every year from March 15–19, featuring more than 700 incredible fallas.

Festivals.Feria de Sevilla

With lavishly costumed men and women riding in horse-drawn carriages among the casetas, or tents. Many casetas are private, but several public tents are available, so anyone can enjoy the party.

During the day, Feria is a wholesome family affair, with children enjoying the fair rides and families sitting down for long, leisurely meals inside their casetas as traditional music fills the air. At night, however, the event changes, with free-flowing alcohol and parties continuing long after the sun has gone down.

No matter where you find yourself in the country, you'll be able to find a Carnival celebration nearby. While each city's celebration retains its own distinct vibe, in general, expect extravagant costumes, exciting parades, and plenty of music and alcohol.

The Earth's crust is broken into 17 major, rigid tectonic plates. These float on a hotter, softer layer in its mantle.

2. Add bicarbonate of soda to each bowl.

3. Add different food colours to four different bowls so that it gives different coloured volcanoes.

4. Now add dish soap liquid in required amounts to each of the bowls.

5. Finally add vinegar to get the volcano eruption in the bowls.
