From the international festival of San Sebastian to specialist festivals such as Oporto (SF) or Madrid's LesGaiCine festival.

Annual Horror and Fantasy Film Festival of Donostia
Soon to hold its 12th edition, this, the younger brother of the San Sebastian International Film Festival, has taken over the niche the Sitges festival used to fill.

Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival
One of the most important events of its type in Europe. Appropriately, an entertaining but decidedly adults-only website.

Fantasporto - the Oporto International Film Festival
Specializing in the fantasy and science-fiction genres and coming up to its twenty-second edition in 2002.

Gijón International Film Festival
Like Sitges and its film festival with a SF and horror theme, Gijón used to have a lovely little festival dedicated to film noir, which they have turned into just another second-rate international festival. Who needs it?

LesGaiCine Madrid
To all intents and purposes, a Spanish-only site for this gay film festival held in November.

Mostra de Cinema Llatinoamericà de Lleida
This festival dedicated to Latin American films is only in its seventh edition, but has already acquired a certain prestige. Spanish-only site, at least for the moment.

San Sebastian International Film Festival
The most important film festival in Spain. This year, 2001, with a new festival director at the helm, Claude Chabrol heading the jury and a Donostia prize to go to Julie Andrews, it looks set to be highly varied.

Seminci - the Valladolid International Film Festival
Another veteran among Spanish and indeed European film festivals, though not as well known internationally as San Sebastian. This year with a retrospective on Visconti.

Sitges International Film Festival of Catalonia
Although not as likeable as when it was a cult affair dedicated to SF, fantasy and horror films, the Sitges Festival is a most enjoyable occasion and still retains traces of its origins.

Hotels

This booking service covers a very wide range of places in both Spain and Portugal.

Car Hire
Auto Europe
Car rental, motor homes, minibuses... And an interesting short-term lease option.
