Spannish Fiestas

This is a strange country!

Every village and town spends two weeks celebrating with fiestas. Huge parades, fancy dress, exciting floats, late night discos - starting at midnight! At the end of this, the town goes on holiday! Well the shops and bars shut for a month! So anything you want you need to hope the neighbouring village isnt in the middle of IT's holiday month! How odd!

But it's still a beautiful place! Last night we sat outside a bar and had a fantastic meal whilst watching the locals walk around the stalls down their main street. The atmosphere in Spain is far friendlier than in the UK. The village fiestas are for the locals and everyone gets involved.
