Festival Location: Madrid, Spain

Festival Type(s): Bizarre Festivals, Local Festivals, Community Festivals

Round up your friends, an eye-patch, a peg-leg and a parrott and head to Madrid's Vallecas district come July for the Batalla Naval de Vallecas - Spain's largest pirate-themed water fight.

Thousands make up the moist milieu which kicks off at five and goes through to nine - but being Spain, the onset of dusk means the party's just getting started!
