...and some children. The children are eating pieces of sponge cake which was blessed by the priest with his holy water during the mass and then handed out to everyone as they left the church.


San Ramón had his usual procession around the village. To see the video on YouTube, click HERE.


Back home, there's a photo opportunity...


...we don't get dressed up often here!


In the evening, each peña cooks food and takes it to the Plaza Mayor to eat in their groups.


The meal this evening for us is a delicious Fideuá cooked by Anna and Miguel.


Later, there is a stage act with a comedian followed by a pop group who play into the early hours.
