This weekend there has been a big fiesta in Yátor for San Sebastián Mártir, started on Friday and continued over Saturday and Sunday.
We took time out from land work and went down to Yátor for the lunchtime do, had a glass or two of some very scrummy local wine, and the usual selection of meats, cheese and bread, also hot pork casseroled with peppers and onions. The afternoon turned out to be slightly longer than we'd planned and it was dark before we made our way up the pista. We walked up but had forgotten to take a torch - at least now it's concrete it's easier to see than before. It sort of shines in the starlight.
A mixture of old and young played guitars and sang traditional songs during lunchtime followed by a different brass band to the usual group of youngsters. There were more drums than brass instruments and they got people up dancing to the rhythm.
PS it's cold....tried to snow yesterday morning and it was only just above freezing when I got up, although this morning it was over 3° and it almost reached 7° this afternoon. But there's a cold wind blowing. What happened to last weeks' Spring-like weather?
