SAN ISIDRO
San Isidro is the patron saint of Madrid, and gives his name to the week-long festivities which take place round May 15. Originally an 18th-century trade fair, the San Isidro celebrations now include music, dance, a famous romería, theatre and bullfighting. The isidrada is in fact one of the most important dates in the bullfighting calendar.

SAN JUAN
The Día de San Juan on June 24 fuses Christian tradition with ancient summer solstice celebrations. In many areas, particularly near the sea, it is customary to light large bonfires on open ground on the night of June 23 and to burn an effigy, normally a large rag doll, at the stake. These hogueras de San Juan, which are accompanied by fireworks and music, draw crowds of people wanting to dance or simply to enjoy the summer evening, until the fire dies out in the small hours. Some legends credit this night with magical qualities and talk of ghostly apparitions.
