Another bonfire!

This time the bonfire is to celebrate the eve of Nuestra Señora del Pilar, (click on the title above for more info), and today is a holiday!


There was a good turnout and the bonfire was splendid.


The bonfire is held traditionally in the area known as La Co-operativa - this is where the olives are brought later in the year to be processed.


The Amas de Casa, (Housewives group), provided the cakes and cava which went down a treat.


It was a perfect evening with the (almost) full moon beaming down from a starlit sky.


Both Alena and Margaret were busy all evening serving cava and cake.


And to continue the celebrations, a very good friend has brought a cake! It symbolises the robe worn by Our Lady and tastes delicious!


It seemed a pity to cut into and then eat such a work of art but we forced ourselves!
