The Amas de Casa meal, entertainment and rondallas

Today was the day for the Amas de Casa, (the housewives), of Torre del Compte to celebrate by having their meal, entertainment and in the evening, rondallas, jotas sung and played around the village.


As usual, the meal was served by the committee...




...after which, the committee changed into their costumes for the entertainment.


This was the first year for the event to take place in the (unfinished) polideportivo, or sports hall, which was a shade cooler than the normal venue, the hall next to the bar/restaurant.


Two celebrities were chosen to be the entertainment, both very popular in Spain some 30 years ago. The first was Raffaella CarrĂ , (who is Italian)...


...and the second, Georgie Dann, (who is French).


However, everyone here knows their songs and the medley presented went down really well.


In the evening we had the rondallas around the village.


At every place where the group stopped to sing, the committee of the Amas de Casa served cava and cake. No wonder it was such a popular event!
