Badajoz Fiesta de San Juan 1954 – De la Riva Original Spanish Festival Poster
Celebrate Spanish culture and tradition with this original 1954 Badajoz “Fiesta de San Juan” vintage poster, designed by De la Riva and printed by Lit. Ortega, Valencia. Professionally linen-backed and preserved in very good condition, this striking lithograph is ready to frame and display.
The vibrant design features two flamenco dancers in traditional Spanish dress, captured mid‑dance with raised arms and expressive movement. Their richly patterned skirts and colorful shawls bring energy and rhythm to the composition, beautifully reflecting the festive spirit of one of Spain’s most celebrated regional events. A stylized architectural backdrop and the coat of arms of Badajoz further anchor the poster in its historic setting.
The Badajoz Fair (Feria de San Juan) dates back to 1255, when it began as a traditional market and cattle fair. Over the centuries, the celebration evolved into one of the most important festivals in the region. Held each June in honor of San Juan Bautista, the patron saint of the Cathedral and Diocese of Badajoz, the festival attracts large crowds with music, flamenco dancing, fairs, fireworks, parades, and lively street celebrations.
De la Riva’s 1954 poster captures the essence of this vibrant tradition and reflects the bold graphic style of mid‑century Spanish festival posters. With its dramatic color palette and cultural imagery, it stands as a wonderful example of classic European travel and event advertising.
