• The Carnival is over!

    January 28, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    After seeing what was going on with a big annual Andalucian running event, beginning and ending on this campsite, we ambled our way around exploring the west side of town today.
    Lots of boats of course, and more mosaic seats and we took some pics of normal streets. There was a racket coming from somewhere and we saw a few people dressed up in costume so went to see what was going on. There was an enclosed area with tons of people and trestle tables with food. We felt like we'd perhaps entered a private party but no one batted an eyelid. I asked someone outside what was happening, "Carnival" she said. Oh Bugger! We Googled only to find that it had all started 2 days ago and midday today there was the procession. We'd missed it! And this was the post-carnival sharing of food between the participants or just people in the town.
    Oh well, there was still a good vibe on the street and we enjoyed a beer in a quieter street.
    A 6 mile walk this time and back in time for a sketchy WiFi Greenwood Zoom, which our new neighbour's dog barked a lot of the way through.
