The Patron Saint of our village is San Idsidro, so way, way back in May they held a Romeria in his honour. A Romeria consists of getting up an indecent hour, taking the Santo from the village church and accompanying him to a nearby hermita. Where once the mass is held, sausages are sizzled, beer and wine is consumed and the kids (and some adults) indulge in a bit of a water balloon fight.
San Isidro leaving the village accompanied by...
the band.
The villagers accompany the Santo on foot or in their carrozas - that would be a trailer, generally a bit magged up to you and me!!!
And even...
the obligatory shopping trolley!!!
Dancing
and skipping
is obligatory on the trip to the hermita, where the mass is performed
Before the journey back, I managed a quick shot of these two stunning cousins
Fortunately there was also help on hand for this guy...
who not remembering how much it had rained recently parked in a recently ploughed field.
This was followed by paella back in the village and bouncy castles and a zorb ball for the kids.
All in all a good time was had by all.
