Great rest day yesterday – expertly planned (!), to coincide with the Festival of the Lake. We don’t really understand the history but it involves throwing an old lady in the lake… ?!

Procession started at 10.30 = 11 ish! – including carnival floats, dancers, bands etc – massive crowds all around as it trailed up to town and the lake.

And then after a siesta, they kind of did it all again – some serious partying going on. We didn’t quite make it to the fireworks which were supposed to start around 11pm (!), as it would be too late and we are now conditioned athletes 😉

Would definitely come back here again though – it’s been a real bonus to see these Fiestas and this was the best yet, (so far anyway!)
