The fiesta of San Juan, 23rd June 2007

A glorious day with the mid-day service at the ermita, paella with 2 dozen of our pena in our bodega in the afternoon, dancing to a very good musical duo on the street in front of our house in the evening then back to our bodega for "supper" with 2 dozen plus.

Everyone is just so organised at these events and when it comes to the preparation of the meal, everyone finds something to do.


While the paella was being made outside, all of the other parts of the meal were
being prepared in our downstairs kitchen.


Meanwhile, others got down to the serious work of just enjoying themselves...


... in whatever way they found best.

Eventually it was time to add the finishing touches to the paella...


...and then into our bodega with everyone around the large table to have a
really good time enjoying the food and the company.



After the meal, a quiet siesta outside...




Later that evening everyone from the village turned up to the dancing
on the camino outside our house.





Must find out what Pablo uses as a hair restorer...

Then after the dancing we must be hungry again because it's back to have supper...

...and Pedro performs his party trick!


Pedro told me that he can only do this trick because he has incredibly small genitals!
We certainly can't see any evidence to the contrary in this picture
