A Surprise Fiesta in Spain....

Today is Sunday and have decided to take advantage of the peacefulness that surrounds me and write a post; the sky is clear, there are few if any golfers on the course below and the Mar Menor is calm.  We went to the market today and picked up our rotisserie chicken from our usual man and a bag of oranges (it had to weight at least 5 pounds for only 2Euros - about $2.40).  Hmm.... what to do with oranges, a bottle of sparkling wine, a lazy Sunday, a spectacular view....Mimosas!  So this is what a blogger's life is all about....sometimes!
Making Mimosas

Getting Ready to Write


And here is today's post:
A few weeks ago, we happened to visit a nearby town to stroll it's Calle Mayor (aka:Main Street).  As  we approached a small town square, we could hear music playing....a quick shuffle towards the sound and we almost bump into a gorgeous white horse! What?!  And then another horse and another and ladies in Flamenco dresses!  It was a fiesta of some kind and we decided to join in the festivities and ordered up a pitcher of sangria!  We watched as the horses took turns parading by us; their manes beautifully combed or braided and trotting side ways as we sipped our wine.  No words can accurately convey the images, so here is a collection of photos taken!



Imagine seeing this upon entering the town square!

Mother and daughter in Flamenco dresses!

Horses galloped, strutted and danced to our enjoyment.




Well, next week I shall write about another adventure, an unexpected discovery or a new acquaintance.  One never knows what surprise the the next day will bring and I never know what my next post will be about - except it will be spontaneous!
But one thing I do know, Spain is beautiful and offers no limit to the many wonders we can discover together!

Adios!
