About The Semana Grande

It was once said that on the off chance that you needed to perceive what a town looked like when everybody living there had a glass too much, at that point simply visit Bilbao amid Semana Grande – or Aste Nagusia, as they're as prone to allude to it. Consistently amid nine days amidst August, in excess of 100,000 celebration goers crowd the bouleds of Bilbao for Semana Grande – celebrating practically the entire night to the clamor of unrecorded music and extreme firecrackers shows and afterward watching bull battles or Strongman rivalries amid the day. The celebration really starts on the principal Saturday following August fifteenth.

Semana Grande is the greatest celebration in northern Spain. Devoted to the Virgin of Begoña, tenderly known as Amatxu, or Mother, to the Basques, this is a festival of Basque legacy as much as religion. A large portion of the occupants of the city take seven days off – so don't anticipate that every one of the shops will be open, or you'll be frustrated – and essentially partake in one of Europe's most thrilling road parties. Bilbao's bull ring, in the Plaza de Toros de Vista, has seven days of terrific corridas amid Semana Grande and, in spite of the fact that tickets begin at about €30, a portion of Spain's most noticeable warriors go to. Besides, the bulls here – simply like the men – should be the most daring in the nation. Admirers of Don Quijote will recollect that even in Cervantes' opportunity, Basques had a fearsome notoriety in view of their quality.
