Last night was the first night of the fiesta in the village which meant free sangria and beer for everyone to go with the entertainment - traditional spanish singing and dancing. Of course it didn't start until late so I missed most of it, having to be home and in bed at a reasonable hour so I can get up and take the dogs out early in the morning, but what I saw of it was good, and it was amazing how many people were there. Tonight was the floral procession where the women of the village walk through the town in traditional costumes bearing flowers which they take to the village church. I'm sure it was lovely but unfortunately I was hit by a migrainey headache (due to the sun I think) earlier today so wasn't feeling up to going. Tomorrow is the float procession which I am hoping to get to with more fun to follow on Sunday and Monday.
I have worked out that Jack always wants to walk the same route because it passes a number of fig trees, although he has now stripped them of any figs - I keep alternating the route, but then he has a tendancy to find half decayed goats legs and things instead.
Today I also had a surprise visit from Andrea's family - it was lovely to see them although they didn't stay too long.
