Sunday

Lynette went to mass in the cathedral today so I went with her to remember what it was like. We've been many times before of course but last year the bell tower was covered in scaffolding so it was nice to see it uncovered and cleaned. On the way we came across a group of men practising with one of the huge heavy floats ready for the Easter processions. They are carried on the backs and shoulders of maybe twenty men (or maybe more!) and they are so heavy that they have to have relays of teams to carry them. After the cathedral l went for a walk around the Sunday flea market in the castle square.

We had lunch in the sun in the local plaza where one of our favourite restaurants has just reopened, and the food is as good as always. On to the football stadium, with a good big crowd today, and another win!Read more
