So I'm still not 100% sure if there's a real purpose to these festivals, but it mostly seems like an excuse for the ENTIRE CITY to flood the Plaza and surrounding area. I mean, there's the thing about it being the day of their patron saint, Virgen de la Vega, but we're not sure if there's more to it than that or not. I will say though, that the Spanish can give a fantastic fireworks show. Even though we were behind a lot of people and a row of very tall trees, we still got a great show! Here's a video, enjoy.
Also, here's a photo of the Old Cathedral at night because it's beautiful.
Also we went to a free concert in the Plaza afterwards, this guy Carlos Jean was playing. Cordis, if you ever actually read my blog, you should check him out. It was pretty good music, just super crowded so we didn't end up staying for more than an hour.
But we walked by the Plaza later at night and got to see the result of an entire town packing into the Plaza.
