My madre told me that each neighborhood has its own festivals and this past weekend started the fiesta in the neighborhood of San Blanc. I really enjoyed this because my madre and all her friends in the neighborhood were so excited about this fiesta, even more than the hogueras bon fires. This reminded me of 4th of July festivals back home when everyone in your own neighborhood is so involved in the celebrations and participate in the parades and festivities. My madre knew almost everyone involved in the parade and it was so nice to see the people I have met over the past few weeks so excited to celebrate in their neighborhood. I really enjoyed to see all the different costumes of Arabs and Romans but I simply enjoyed how personal the festival was to each person in the neighborhood and how people of all ages were involved. My madres son will be participating in the parade this weekend in his roman costume which he is very excited about and he's always talking about how big this parade is in his neighborhood. I posted this small video to show some of the parade and how excited all the people were in San Blanc.
