Carnival is quite late this year but it was still chilly in the plaza mayor as hundreds of people came to watch the parade of floats on Sunday. There were several different themes but my favourite was the fishing boat made of newspaper floating on a blue polythene sea, fishermen casting their nets over the lovely, plump and shiny gambas, wonderful costumes with incredible detail. There were all the usual suspects, cowboys and indians, the victorious Spanish football team, Noah's ark, shepherd, sheep and wolves, a tribe of fat black savages with enormous objects swinging out of their grass skirts.........ah the joys of carnival. It was a good atmosphere with lots of happy, rampaging niños and smiling faces everywhere.
