Shaking body…


As part of the fiesta, I could only think that it was the turn of the Basque Separatists to start the day’s celebrations! As at 8 ‘o’ clock on a sunny Sunday morning, hundreds of loud bombs went off in the street outside, shaking and waking the dead and the post party people who were still feeling emotionally fragile!


It turned out the ‘firecrackers’ indicating that the ‘Dames & Divas’ (from Friday night …keep up…) were being rounded up from their colourfully painted houses by ‘The Donald’ Trumpeteers, who were next up the street making a bloody racket…





Valencian Pelota, played in the street was interesting to watch.




Finally, as darkness fell the final solemn parade of the day set off from the little church.




THE END



The groovy ‘Ezra Collective’ is today’s choice of music to wrap things up as these boys can blow a trumpet at a party - see them here on a live session for 6Music.
