At the beginning of March 2026, we, residents of Spain, began to notice that our usual expenses were gradually increasing. In fact, Spain has become more expensive due to the war in the Middle East — at first the rise in fuel prices seemed temporary, but it soon became clear that international events had also affected Europe: prices for fuel, transport and essential goods increased.
Spain is famous for many things — not only its sea, cuisine and vibrant festivals, but also rare natural phenomena.
One of them will take place on August 12, 2026 — a total solar eclipse that can be seen right here in Spain.
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.
