I arrived late on Palm Sunday,
during holy week, I struggled to get from the Station to the hotel
through the crowds, because of the many processions for holy week..

The next day I 'acquired' a
credential....entry book for refugios, topped up my Spanish sim
card, visited some sites, hung out, ate sticky buns (SB's.....very
good but sadly the last great SB's I was to have until Merida) and
watched the processions. Including a singer giving her 'all' over a
float. To the delight of the crowd the floats, carried on 'victims'
heads, are steered round corners with the precision of a newly
qualified pan technician driver with a sizable hang over.
Oh yes ....and drank some very
good vino blanco. Spanish white is not to everyone's taste, but it
is to mine.... I will let the pictures tell the rest of the story....but it was a
'Grand day out' |
