Spanish days of celebrating?

[LiveLaughLove.]

What are the dates of days they celebrate in Spain? I think it would be funny to celebrate Spanish celebrations, but I don't know when they are.

Spain also has lots of big regional holidays pertaining to the patron saint
of the area. Just recently the San Fermin Festival was celebrated in Pamplona for example. This holiday is celebrated in a region Northeastern Spain. San Isidro was celebrated several weeks ago in Madrid.

Although they do celebrate many unique holidays, Spanish-speaking countries do celebrate many of the same days that we do in America. SpanishDict has some blog posts about Valentine's Day, Father's Day, and Cinco de Mayo that go into more detail than I can.

Yes, you celebrate dates similar that it are celebrate in my country, therefore, I believe that in no only in Mexico is celebrates May 5, otherwise in another places.

But they sometimes are overlook of the date.

The patron saints are celebrated by the municipality, but not all the Communities celebrate a patron saint (for instance, where I live a defeat is celebrated -Día de la Comunidad Autónoma-).

I don't like to say "Region" for "Community", because we had regions time before, but now we don't have them anymore.
