What do you have to do?
What’s the festival like?
I cook for the tourists, lol.
the festival is an annual reenactment of the Christians invading and conquering the castle. the first one took place in the year 1200 IFAIK…not sure eof the date but the people here did a reenactment for a visiting king, then made a holiday out of it.
In reality, it’s groups that play dress up for 2 weeks while staying literally as drunk as possible…it’s hilarious. there is parade after parade and lots of bands, fireworks, drinking, and crowds. It is the height of the summer season.
We live in an insane town…it has the most public holiday celebrations in all of Spain…which I’m not sure about because most towns we visit say the same.
Oh my, drunk tourists, I love looking at those, but I missed it! Maybe next year! I’m planning to bike to Spain in a few weeks.
Lol, the drunks are the locals in costumes…2 weeks of solid booze and paella
Sounds like fun 😊
It’s insane🥸
