A traditional puppet festival set to be held in Spain could be a great place to visit for those taking a Spanish property holiday to the country this winter or at the start of next year.

According to the official Spanish tourism website, the Tolosa International Puppet Festival is an event which attracts people from around the world who puppeteer professionally and can help give visitors to the country a real taste of traditional Spanish culture.

"It provides a showcase for young and adult audiences to enjoy a wide range of performances: stories based on classic texts combined with colourful, modern and innovative dramatisations," the website said.

The puppet festival is due to be held between November this year and June 2010, so those with Spanish property have plenty of time to arrange time away to coincide with the event.

The town of Tolosa is in the Basque region of Gipuzkoa in Spain.
