Cultura Urbana is an annual festival in Madrid promoting Hip Hop culture. Ever since its first edition in 2005, it had been gaining more followers and it has rapidly been consolidated as one of the biggest outdoor festivals in Spain.

The scenery for this great festival has been changing every edition because it is becoming more and more important, attracting every year more people that need more space and new activities and concerts.

This festivity is the annual celebration in the area of Gracia. It has become the second most important festival in Barcelona. The festivity is the annual festival of the lively area of Gracia that takes place every year during a week in August.

During the time it lasts, the whole area takes a different look. All the streets are decorated to participate in a street contest. Even their names are changed for that special time.  The week brings lots of concerts and activities to the borough, where tradition is never forgotten.

In 1944, during a parade of gigantes y cabezudos, young men who wanted to participate in the same event staged a brawl. Since there was a vegetable stand nearby, they picked tomatoes and used them as a weapon. The police had to intervene to break up the fight, and forced those responsible to pay the damages incurred.

The following year the young people repeated the fight, only this time brought their own tomatoes from home. They were again dispersed by the police. After repeating this in subsequent years, the party was, albeit unofficially, established.

This festivity honors Patron Saint of Madrid, San Isidro. The official date is the 15^th of May, but the celebration lasts for a week and it has plenty of concerts, performances, and all  sort of activities.

On this date it is typical to go to the local shrine and to drink water from the well where the saint worked his miracles. Legend tells that this saint got to make rise water by beating the floor with his hoe, in a time of deep drought.  The second part of the story is about how this same fountain water got to heal King Felipe the Third, of a serious disease.

Sonar Festival is one of the most famous and prestigious of its gender in Europe. Electronic music is the main character of the festival.

Sonar was born in 1994 and ever since then it lasts three days in the middle of June and it is not a mere music festival, but a meeting for several professionals where they can assist to different events related to electronic music.

THE Festival occurs on different stages around the Raval area, so we would consider this event as a travelling Festival in the city of Barcelona.
