Festivals
and Holidays: "Fiesta del Pilar in Zaragoza" |
|
Every year, on the 12th of October, the capital of the region of Aragon in Spain,
Zaragoza, becomes a place of celebration to honor the
Virgin of Pilar, the patron saint of this historic and diverse region, located
in the Pyrenees
mountains, and surrounded to the north by Navarra, to the east by Catalonia, and
to the south and west by Castilla León.
Centuries of history, faith and devotion surround the Virgin of Pilar, and serve
as the foundation for the festivities
practiced in modern times. Today, an abundance of music, dance, theater, parades,
flowers and ambiance make the Fiesta del Pilar a fine example of the spirit of
Spanish history and culture, as well as an internationally
recognized event.
