San Ramón

For the eve of San Ramón we had another meal at the peña; ham, carved by Pablo, bread, cheese and olives.

The bread is not buttered but spread with garlic and tomato.


This morning, Monday, (not Sunday), we had mass in the church at midday. Margaret, as well as others, had arranged to dress in traditional regional costume, an opportunity to try out the newly made outfit.

Meanwhile, the paella had been started in the Plaza Mayor.


Below is Margaret and Jordi posing with a member of the village with a 300 year old shawl.


After we had changed, it was back to the Plaza for lunch.



Once again, it was a meal for the entire village in the Plaza Mayor. This is a 180º view of everyone eating! A meat and seafood paella, delicious!


This event signals the end of the fiesta period for the village. Now, all the holidaymakers, relatives and friends who came here for the summer, return to the cities of Barcelona and Zaragoza, (some have already gone), and the village returns to its normal tranquil state. Until next time!
