Spaniards seem to like festivals. just down the road from us at Fuenlabrada is an open space with signs saying "zona deportiva" which i hope means place to disport yourselves. anyway, it's where they are currently having a Fiesta Mariscos Gallegos. Basically that means there are big tents and lots of NW spanish seafood dishes, wine (white only) and beer, which you buy, then sit down and eat, along with lots of other locals, and enjoy a spot of Gallego food and culture.
at the one we found in seville, which was really pumping, there was flamenco dancing and other live music. this one was quieter, with only taped music, including bagpipes, which are a specialty of that part of spain. they seem to have a blue and white flag, whereas (I think) andalucia is green and white, and catalunya is lots of red and yellow stripes. haven't worked out castille yet.
anyway, we duly disported ourselves last night and even brought some cake home - kind of like a cheese cake thing - which made a good breakfast this morning. we travelled light last night so no pics, unless we go back again later today (which is possible).
Toledo and pics in the next (last?) post...
