Carnival
3/12 - Arriondas - We heard about a "carnival" in Arriondas while we were having tea with Sam and Joanna. They told us how people would dress up like it was Halloween and walk around in the streets. We went without dressing up- We weren't sure what to expect. Marleen dropped us off in the middle of the city at night. There was a lot of cheering and glass breaking. Most people were in costumes walking around, but we weren't sure where everyone was going or coming from. Most people seemed to be going to the discotecha (dance place), where they were having a costume competition but we think we were to late. The best part was actually the walk home (~1hr), where we walked up the mountain and looked down onto Arriondas before crossing over and back to Donkey Paradise.

Could you see anything when you were walking back?Hope you had a flash light with you.
ReplyDeleteEven though you didn't go to the discotecha (disappointed) at least you had a great walk home at night! Sounds very romantecha (my attempt at a spanish play on words for "romantic")
ReplyDeleteSounds a lot like Salem.
