The meal of the amas!

At this time of year the amas de casa, (housewives), of Torre del Compte have their annual meal in the village restaurant. It is customary for the members of the committee to serve the meal dressed as waitresses and also to put on some form of entertainment. The early rehearsals for the entertainment took place in our entrance hall in the week leading up to the performance.

Costumes were also made for the occasion...

The ladies were a phenomenal success as the audience applause indicates.


Because of the serious nature of the dance by the ladies I felt that a more lighthearted approach to the same music was needed so along with a friend we performed our version. You can see it on YouTube if you click HERE. Whereas the ladies had spent days in rehearsals for their dance John and myself spent almost an entire hour!

However, it was very well received!
