This week on Spainfully Honest, Catherine and Paul look at how Spain celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. From the huge Cabo Roig parade, the biggest in Europe outside of Ireland, to Madrid’s week-long Ireland celebrations, we cover how the Irish community and locals bring Irish culture to life in Spain.

They talk about the historical connections between Ireland and Spain, local traditions influenced by Irish culture, and how you can join in yourself, whether that is going to a parade, visiting Irish pubs, or taking part in cultural events.

They also share fun details like the myth of Spanish landings in Ireland, and Bloomsday celebrations you might not expect. This episode shows the history, culture, and community behind St. Patrick’s Day in Spain.
