The essential guide to entertainment in Spain. An up to date comprehensive list of what's on in Spain and events in Spain.  "Lunes de Aguas" Salamanca Tourist and holiday information for Spain including concerts, gigs & shows.         "Lunes de Aguas" Salamanca Monday following Easter. Monday April 21 The Spanish as we know need very little excuse for a festival- but a festival in Spain to welcome prostitutes into the city and a festival immediately after Easter is stretching things a bit. Back in the day, King Felipe II banned prostitutes from the city of Salamanca during the Easter Religious events. On the day after  Easter they were allowed back in and the local students in the 16c who must have been a pretty uncouth lot gathered at the outskirts of the city to welcome them back and help them over the river. These days some how this has become a festival were the local people gather on the outskirts of the city for a huge picnic and eat local foodstuffs. This is good timing after all the abstinence of Lent and Easter. All the usual singing, dancing and daring do's which are an essential element of Spanish festivals.   March events Festivals in Spain      Salamanca  Castile-Leon Tourist Office: Plaza Mayor, 19 - 37002 Salamanca Tel. +34 923268571 Fax +34 923262492 Tourist Office: Calle Acera de Recoletos, s/n (Pabellón de Cristal) - 47004 Valladolid Tel. +34 983219310 Fax +34 983217860   Castile-Leon Tourist Office: Calle Acera de Recoletos, s/n (Pabellón de Cristal)  47004 Valladolid Tel. +34 983219310 Fax +34 983217860 http://www.turismocastillayleon.com/cm/
