Every year on February 28, southern Spain celebrates Andalusia Day (Día de Andalucía) — an important regional holiday dedicated to the history, culture, and identity of one of the country’s most vibrant regions. On this day, cities and villages are filled with a festive atmosphere, concerts, traditional music, and gastronomic events.

The dates for one of the most spectacular winter festivals, the 2026 Cadiz Carnival, have been officially announced in Andalusia. This year, it will take place from 12 to 22 February 2026 and will traditionally transform the historic city centre into a large open-air stage.
