3 of the Best European Festivals in October |
With so many European Festivals taking place during the month of October, we're introducing you to just 3 of the best.
1. FESTIVAL OF VALLS
Where : Valls, Spain
When : Late October
The
town of Valls is located near the city of Barcelona, and its main
square comes alive during late October when rival teams compete the
create the biggest and most impressive human castle, or pyramid. Huge
crowds congregate in the square, and pack balconies that overlook the
scene of ever increasing towers toppling, or the youngest (and
smallest) of the team claiming victory as he/she tops the castle.
2.
PERUGIA'S CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL
Where : Perugia, Italy
When : 9 days in mid October
Where : Perugia, Italy
When : 9 days in mid October
A
chocolate lover's paradise for 9 days when the hilltop town of
Perugia attracts over a million visitors who come here to eat and
talk about all things chocolate. Complete with sculptors carving huge
blocks of chocolate, beauty treatments using this sweet treat, food
and drink stalls, and of course some of the finest handmade
chocolates made while you watch. Buy a “ChocoCard” at the
festival and benefit from discounted small items to sample.
3.
OKTOBERFEST
Where
: Munich, Germany
When : 16 days before the first Sunday in October
When : 16 days before the first Sunday in October
Munich
plays host to the largest folk festival every year where a
celebration of Bavarian beer and food is held. Over 6 million people
will visit, taking their seats in one of the 14 hangar-sized tents
and then perhaps moving on to the 100 or so smaller tents where
specialist products can be sampled. Every 10 minutes you are
reminded of the main reason for visiting this festival as the band
strikes up One, Two, Three, Drink!
Today,
it's relatively easy to reach the majority of places and experience
so many festivals. Each month we will be bringing you our top 3
European Festivals, so watch for news of those happening during
November.
As
with all travel arrangements, it's important to recognise the
importance of booking through an ATOL protected operator for complete
peace of mind and financial protection.
