Held during the last week of May, it stands as one of the most culturally significant festivals in Andalusia, Spain. During the mid-20th century, the city commissioned prominent regional graphic illustrators like Ricardo Anaya to design highly stylized, hand-painted promotional lithographs to advertise the events across Europe.
