  • This is what they saw

    This is what the two old gents and their wives in the pic in the previous post were about to witness.
    This was just the preparations for the official launch and the start of a long night and week ahead.

    Tomorrow i'm going to post some more of my holiday vids on my Youtube site starting with the one taken after this one in Plaza Mayor when the partying really started.

    Update
    Two hours later after processing to Plaza Mayor,
    the wetness on the floor was caused by people throwing wine and cocacola all over each other!!.

    btw.. I suggest you turn your volume down

  • The tartan mob from Iberia

    Series 2

    The 16th-century Plaza Mayor, presided over by a statue of Count Ansúrez. El-Molina-Sept-2007-007but when one of the marauding penas decided to make the Count an honorary member of their group by climbing up and dressing him thus, did the authorities raise their arms aghast? not a bit they plastered it all over the local newspaper and left him attired thus 'til the end of the fiesta celebrationsEl-Molina-Sept-2007-062

    The first day I was out in the streets the tartan 'Pena' were also out in force, they along with hundreds of other Penas were out to party.

  • The dreaded pics!

    Well, you know you're gonna get it...don't you?...My holiday snaps that is!

    T'old man once said, after being made to look through hundreds of a friend's holiday pics, that there was nothing more boring than looking through album upon album of someone elses holiday snaps for although they may mean a lot to the owner they very rarely mean much to other people.

    This said I must point out that I do like to post my pics mainly for my own amusement ...this being my blog and all...so sorry folks here we go

    series 1
    The first week I was there the streets of Valladolid were full of processions, dancing troupes, bands playing and "Penas" maurading. Here are a small selection of the people I snapped.
