Catalan Festivities

It was a bit chilly this morning so the hot chocolate which was on offer was most welcome. Started off with Caga Tio which is a log that when hit by the children disgorges sweets. It was then followed by fifes, drums and shots from an old traditional Catalan gun called a “ trabuc” which heralded the human towers. The little kids on the top were without fear while we on the ground were relieved that they were wearing safety helmets. An aperitif at the village hall was followed by lunch with the troupe and an elderly lady who turned up a day late for the OAPs do!
Finished off the day with the last two episodes of “Killing”. Sarah found the murderer but will she ever find love?
