Festivals and events abroad - don't miss out on the fun!A festival abroad can reveal much about a land and its people so it's well worth planning your gap trip itinerary to coincide with them.
Whether the festival abroad is celebrating a saint, wine or something completely off-the-wall, like tomato-throwing, young and old throw themselves into the festival mood with gusto. Daily chores are suspended, colourful costumes are brought out and hours are spent preparing the national dishes.

If you were hoping to get a bus out of town or do any kind of business, you might well be frustrated - in these cases, the best thing to do is just go with the festival flow!
Some festivals abroad change from year to year and others are specific to certain regions, so contact the tourist office or look at the local press for more details. Accommodation is likely to get booked up quickly during festivals, so get in there quickly with reservations! |
