Fiesta Time!
Ok going off now to tread carefully to our Fiesta in Xirles. Population probably 400, but can't now get a parking space for love nor money.
Have suffered it all week with the dogs hiding in the bathroom and my bloody car being severely scratched by a very merry Valencian. My eardrums are bleeding from the bangers going off till 4am all week, but hey, living 'la vida loca!' Any way last night tonight! Thank Sant Ramon of Xirles. (He must of been a party animal!)
So decided gonna get my own back and take some pics and say its for the 'News of the World' or something equally sordid!
Will post pics later...

spoke to a neighbour who´s daughter was a Dama this year, he said she had been sleeping for 15 hours (that was at 8pm tonight) and over the fiesta she only had 3-4 hours sleep in 4 days

Re: Fiesta Time!
The Moors and Christians fiesta started in Castalla yesterday. The procession was fantastic - the costumes are many and varied and GORGEOUS!! They all seemed to be enjoying themselves What I didn't undrstand though is - Where did they all come from? as usually the town is so quiet We were watching for 3 hours and there were still more to come!
Going back again today to watch more, the warfare starts at 12 noon, the moors win, but there is another warfare on Tuesday when the christians win It all ends on the 5th September with a 'spectacular firework display' at 9.30pm. So much going on
