It is also a great time to visit Rota when the Feria and Fiestas of the Virgin Rosario Coronada takes place.<\/p>\n<p>Dating from the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century, this annual festival is a colourful affair, with carnival parades, costumes, fireworks and plenty of music, dancing, eating and drinking engulfing Rota\u2019s streets.<\/p>\n<p>The festivities take place from 4 \u2013 7 October in honour of Rota\u2019s patron saint, the Virgin of the Rosario Coronada.<\/p>\n<p>The festival begins with the firing of rockets and the long-established tradition of ringing bells. One of the most eagerly awaited events of the festival is the parade of giants, which moves through the town, much to the delight of the children.<\/p>\n<p>The Cadiz province is a wonderfully diverse region of Spain that boasts an enviable mix of sea, history, culture and beautiful scenery. If you want to experience Cadiz culture at its most compelling, a visit to the Feria and Fiestas of the Virgin Rosario Coronada would certainly be an event to remember.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The province of Cadiz in Southern Spain is brimming with traditional and characterful towns.
