Spanish Festivities and Television By Victor, Manuel, Miguel, Eduardo and Peri.
Festivities Christmas In 24th we are usually have dinner with all the family. The next day, 25th there is a great and huge lunch. Then, the 31st, the last day of the year, we make a lot of noise because of the dinner we prepared and the confetti we throw. Then we clean all the dirt. The last important day of Christmas is the night of the 5th , when the Three Wise Men come and they bring us presents. On those days we are usually eat beef, pork, lamb, shellfish, turrón, mazapán and all kind of sweets you can imagine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_NXLY21gl0
EasterAt Easter we celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. All the family meet together on Holy Thursday and we eat potage. Then on Good Friday we can’t eat meat because it’s a tradition. Until Sunday we don’t finish that festivity. The most beautiful thing of Easter are the parades of the saints that go all over the towns. In Seville, Easter is one of the most important festivities since the people even cry if it’s raining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6weX3fYS3g
Carnival The most original of this festivity is that we wear really beautiful or impressive dresses. We go to the street where there are some parades of very big groups of people with the same clothes, they are amazing!!!! The best-known Spanish Carnival is in Cadiz with the great chirigotas. Another important one is the one in Tenerife. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIPUaieStJo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyS9mzwG4Xo
San Fermín It is a festivity in Pamplona. It involves running through streets of Pamplona in front of a group of bulls until they get to the bullring. Then, in the afternoon, those bulls are killed by bullfighters. We don’t like this festivity at all because some animals suffer and are killed. San Fermín makes many foreign people to come to Spain because they want to know what you feel in front of a bull. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjPul8Ok2ms http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuzAbjyEjBU
April fairIt is a particular fair in Seville. It’s one of the best nown fairs around Spain. There are lots of amusements for kids and then for adults there are many bars where you can find people singing songs while others dance. It is supposed to be really exclusive because if you want to enter one of these bars you need to have a relative there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwG2ulEIHnY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m--2fQW-j48
FallasTypical festivity in Valencia. People make some figures of the politicians, footballers or incredible monsters in order to have fun. Many of the figures are amazing. The saddest of all is that the last day, all the figures are burnt. It’s a pity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGAWKqbcssU
TomatinaIn Buñol every summer there is a party called ``La Tomatina´´. It consists on throwing tomatoes everywhere. If you like tomatoes, it will be your favourite festivity. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd3n5NGoxE8

Television Aquí no hay quien vivaIt is a TV show about a block of flats where everybody wants to disturb the other neighbours. It was quite funny; even another channel bought the series in order to have more viewers. The other TV serie is called La que se avecina where the favourite characters are Antonio Recio and Amador. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Diw2VctfQHk
Aida It is a comedy about a family in a neighbourhood in Madrid and the stories that happen to them. It is likely one of the best known TV series in Spain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNewsvQ-Vu4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj9ar7yQ93k
Los SerranoIt is a sit com, the main character is sleeping and he dreams lots of adventures that will happen to him until he tries to take his life because he has lost three wives. One of the funniest characters is Fiti, an ordinary mechanic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujlWGOZc4QM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHYBVBo0SUI
Cuéntame como PasoIt is the story of a little boy and his family during the 60s. It doesn’t try to be a funny TV serie although it has funny moments. In the beginning it was only about the family but now in the 80s, the serie has become to be a real drama. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NsroD7R3dQ
Tu cara me suenaIt is a TV show where famous people try to impersonate singers. Many of them are quite good imitators but others are really bad There have been two editions so far but there will be another soon. It has been a really successful TV show because many countries have copied it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsmE9Ty2T_Y http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PT6ztdadIcA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krl__GVy3uI
El HormigueroIt is a daily talk show where you can find different parts. The first one is about the last news; the second is an interview with a famous person. Here appear two teddy ants to tell jokes. Then there is a scientific part where they make an experiment and finally depending on the day, there is a monologist or to the last news of the yellow press. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYJSr0PadTY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXIXMgGqe8A
PasapalabraIt is a quiz which gives a big prize to the person who guesses the 27 words whose definitions are given . Every word begins with a different letter of the alphabet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEsjNh0bPy8
Se lo que hicisteisIn my opinion it has been one of the best TV shows ever in the Spanish television. It was about the present situation and it criticized the yellow press. It cost the channel many fines although the program was right. They made more than a thousand programs, first weekly, then daily. There are other similar programs like Asi nos va or El Intermedio, which is a successful one at prime time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8q21Eitllw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYuu4TIxhtg
Saber y GanarIt is one of the longest lasting TV shows ever in the Spanish Television. It has been on for14 years and we think it won’t finish. The host looks as old as he used to when the TV show started. Many people say he is immortal. It is a really interesting program of questions and answers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4njwU1DF7hY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI8OVlXQwho
