Grape Harvest and Water Festival
| when: | Aug 2010 (annual) |
|---|---|
| where: | Requena |
The Valencian town of Requena stages an unusual festival to celebrate the beginning of the grape harvest, known as Fiesta de la Vendimia. One of the highlights is the Noche de Zurra, when everyone gets a thorough soaking.
People take to the streets to beseech the powers-that-be for the water needed for the next harvest. Their neighbours waste no time in granting their request, with the help of buckets and hoses...
The event also gives visitors the opportunity to taste wine from the first pressing, as well as featuring a procession with offerings of fruit and flowers.
