We went to Quasimodo on Sunday and found that we were probably the only people in the whole area without a boot full of plastic chairs, baskets of food and crates of drink. We saw every conceivable vehicle pass us, donkeys, horses, carriages, cars, buses, people with rucksacks – and this was at 10 in the morning AND the clocks had just changed AND they had been celebrating the day before too! Some cars were crawling along with boots open with chairs hanging out and people holding onto tables on the roof.
Jim and Viv will recognize this – the day started in Zafra with a parade of drums and trumpets at 8 in the morning- and yes, it is to wake people up and call them to the fiesta!
We sat on a wall and watched people pass and we were the only ‘sight seers’ – everyone else was joining in! We could have gone along, and I am certain we would have been welcome, however we had things to do (and asparagus to pick).
