Today is Saint George’s day, and it is celebrated in many places in the world. For me, it is special, as he is the patron of my town, Alcoy, and the local festivities are in his honour.
Another weekend with a visitor, which means, the whole weekend out doing stuff: sightseeing, walking, party, etc. And it was a great weekend, with a really nice weather. Spring seems to be here…
Furthermore, this time the visit included some typical Stockholm’s musts. First of all, the Ice Bar, a bar where everything is made of ice: tables, walls, bar, glasses. Quite interesting for a Spaniard, so to say.
Vasa Museum was also part of the visit. It is still impressing me this huge boat more than 300 years old, so well preserved. Nobody should visit Stockholm without spending couple of hours in this museum.
I love to go out these April’s nights and feel the special atmosphere present in Alcoi. But this year, I will be (once more) too far away from it. Thanks to Youtube and MP3, at least I can bring some of that magic to my living room in Stockholm.
This is happening in my town, Alcoy/Alcoi, every night in April. Moros y Cristianos festivities take place from 21st to 24th April, and during the whole month people involved in this go out with bands of music, to rehearse the big day: “La entrĆ ”, a huge parade.
By the way, I received today an e-mail with a Chiki-Chiki (spanish candidate in the Eurovision song contest) version for Moros y Cristianos. You can listen and read it in this blog (it’s in valencian).
3 days out there. In the middle of nowhere. At least, this time, we slept in beds with heating, etc. 3 days of interesting training, lots of chatting, sauna, and relative disconnection from daily work. Here you are some photos.
