I know this article is a little old, but I wanted to add my two cents as I’m English who has lived in Spain since early 2006. One of the biggest problems with Spain is the stupid amounts of money they spend yearly on fiestas, especially on their firework displays. Benidorm alone this year spent an annual of 1 Million Euros on September fireworks.

The Spanish need to come up to date with the times and realize this is the 21st Century not the 19th Century, spending millions a year to let off rockets that last no more than a few seconds once they have gone off. Isn’t very productive in sorting out a countries crisis. Plus with a lot of these Fiestas comes bank holidays, children off school and people working, less hours means less money.

Spain needs to develop a new system, with less Fiesta celebrations, less bank holidays and less money spent on firework displays to help build the countries foundationand wealth.
