Over last couple of days people were constructing a festival stage near our house, where groups from the surrounding villages, in traditional costumes were taking part in the contest. A girl who was standing outside, playing without paying any attention to the surrounding crowd was something I could not just walk on by.

Beautiful women, aware of their beauty were posing to impress even more.


Surrounding music was very intriguing, because I associate Spain more with flamenco than this kind of sounds. Another extraordinary items were handmade hats covered with flowers, worn by both men and women. It looked more like middle of the spring not end of December.


In the main pavilion were competing bands, while in the open-air participants were not only preparing themselves, but also those who finished were encouraging everyone to play and dance with them.


How to use castanets and an example of the music I've already mentioned.
