Dancing Shoes

A village not to far from here, up in the mountains is reknown for making espadrilles, especially the "bigatanes" which lace around the ankles, worn by Sardane dancers. This tradition has been celebrated by the issue of a stamp, the first day of which was commemorated by an exhibition in our market town. Typically I didn't have my camera with me so borrowed one from friends with whom we were invited to have an apéro. Never was a "cub" reporter but I'll learn! Yaneth, a journalist friend, says she thinks I'd make a good journalist as I'm curious, some might say, just plain nosey!
