Culture in Spain? Events in Spain?

I'm doing a project for Spanish and I need three cultural facts that are pertinent to the country. So far all I have is the Flamenco.

Please do not mention San Fermin (bull running), Holy Week, and Tomatina, as I already used those three for the Events of Interest section. Now, if you believe that those three are more fit for culture than events, then please tell me and also give me some events.

You don't have to give me any information about the cultural/events that you mention, I can do my own research, I just need to know what to research.

Anyway, thank you all for taking the time to answer this :)

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate as well.

Every town has its own Feria.

Look up "Feria de Abril" (Sevilla)
"Feria del Caballo" (Jerez de la Frontera)
"Feria de San Isidro" (or maybe it's the "DĂ­a de San Isidro") (Madrid)
You already know about the Feria de San FermĂ­n, but it wouldn't hurt to do some research to get some more information (if you haven't yet done that).

El RocĂ­o...an Andaluz pilgrimage.
Camino de Santiago, which actually begins in France.

Culturally, you might mention Siesta, tapas, and the way that people eat much later than in most other countries.

Any town you are interested in, if you go to their chamber of commerce/ministry of tourism sites, you should find their ferias/patron saint days. That should give you all the information you need.

The Bullfight ( la corrida) would come under culture as would the 'siesta' especially in summer time when the weather is hot.
Also El Almuerzo ( the midday meal), it is practically sacred! In the town where I live nothing at all is open from 2.00pm to 5.00pm except for the supermarket. Obviously in tourist places it's different.
The 'tapa' culture....in Granada and Almeria they are still included in the price of the drink...
