Hi Bizzano,
This weekend is the 'Feria de Sevillanas', the second most important festival to the Spanish, after Semana Santo (Easter). I didn't get much sleep last night from all the explosions and fireworks either, and my poor dog didn't know what to do with himself.
The 'Moors & Christians' parades will start towards the end of next month too, another noisy fiesta. It's the way of life in Spain, but it may help to put the major fiestas in your calendar, so at least you'll be forewarned.
By the way, if you're ex-military, you have my deepest sympathy - my nephew was invalided out of the army after his last tour in Afghanistan. He would not be able to cope with the explosive noises we hear during Spanish fiestas.
Kind regards,
Kim
