spain_pontevedra_maiosIf April showers bring May flowers, then Pontevedra, Spain, has the right idea. Its Maios Fiesta, set for May 1, 2017, celebrates the arrival of good weather — and the first spring flowers — in Galicia.

The festival is of Celtic origin, and is celebrated throughout the province, but especially in the cities of Pontevedra and Ourense.
