Puntagorda's Almond Blossom Fiesta

Puntagorda's Almond Blossom fiestaPuntagorda's Almond Blossom fiesta: the main stage is in the green branches at the left, and most of the stalls are along the road going up the hill.

The main village of Puntagorda is quite spread out, but finding the fiesta was very easy - I just followed the music. As you can see, it was packed. But then I knew that a group of people from my own village had hired a bus to go there, and clearly, several other villages had the same idea. These are the buses that wouldn't fit in the main bus-park.

The bouncy castles were well appreciated by the youngest people there.

And the social club for seniors was packed with dancers. I'd have joined in if there'd been a bit more space.

And just as I left, the salsa band left the main stage, to be replaced by a rock band. I much prefer rock 'n' roll, so I was quite sad that I had such a long drive ahead and had to leave.
