For those who speak spanish or are traveling to Spain....
The 31st Nava Cider Festival
Every year the town of Nava hosts the Festival de la Sidra (Cider Festival), which triples the local population for a weekend.
The Spanish value their cider just as much as the English, even bottling it in what look to be champagne bott...les, with particular pouring techniques. During the festival there are competitions for both the best brew and the best pourers, but the main day is the Saturday when there are parties throughout the town.
