Before You Plan Around a Festival


Festival dates are set by city halls, parishes and organising foundations, and they can move from year to year. Dates marked as usual timing follow how the festival is normally scheduled, so confirm them with the organisers before you book. For the biggest events, rooms near the main venues fill weeks ahead, and fares around January's Santo Niño festivals and the Christmas holidays climb fast.
