March is a month of explosive activity for festivals in Spain. A very big festival is "Las Fallas" ("The Fires" in Valencian), which occurs from March 12th-March 19th each year. The focus of this fiesta ("party") is the creation and burning of "ninots" (paper maché statues). These are life-like statues usually of people, who are corrupt politicians and other popular people. They are made from cardboard, wood, and plaster. The purpose is to make fun of the people or situations that they look like and to get the crowd excited. On the last day, March 19th, the "ninots" are stuffed with fireworks. The street crowds scream with excitement as the "ninots" are set on fire exactly at midnight. This huge festival takes place in Valencia, Spain, which is southeast of the nation's capital, Madrid. Other towns have smaller versions of this Valencian party. There are many other different festivals taking place,too, in Spain. For music, from February 27th-March 14th, you can attend the "Jerez Flamenco Festival", which happens in Jerez de La Frontera, Spain. If you like classical music, then there is a festival in Ibiza for Festa de Sant Josep for you. Some people really enjoy films. From March 27th-April 4th, there is the "15th Mostra De Cinema LlatinoAmericà De Catalunya Lleida". You can find Lent services at the Catholic churches as well throughout Spain. I tried to get correct dates for you. This gives you a small idea of what's happening in Spain!

hello. just some corrections: the words is "les falles" and the meaning is not "the fires" but the thing burnt. that's to say : you burnt a "falla", no that you burn a fire with something inside. this celebration is intersting to see, but prepare to be sorrounded mainly by foreigners. All other, events written here are not celabrations but events, just like many you can find around europe, america, etc. I advise you, the questioner, to look for any web about tourism of spain. sure they have some lists about celebrations, the ones you could call traditional ones. there are so many that nobody here knows what is going on, as is supposed that there is always something going on. Before you decide, be sure what you are looking for, as many foreigners just call spanish everything happening in this state and depending which region you go, you'll find something that doesn't fit exactly your ideas, this is especially true for Euskadi and Catalunya, but anyway, thought is free.
