We nearly forgot

Saturday night we went out to the Meson de Salada with Hugh and Angela. The food was delicious and Clara, the resident singer, was in good form. I was driving and so had very little to drink but Hugh, Angela and Pam were a bit worse for wear by the time we got home at 1:00am. It was then that we remembered that Easter Sunday at 7:30am Bigastro has a firework display to celebrate the resurrection of Christ. It is there in the programme for Semana Santa.

You would think they would choose pretty fireworks that made little noise at that time of the morning and would keep the proceedings short. Not at all! The fireworks were white but still had very loud bangs that we could feel as well as hear and the whole thing lasted about ten minutes or more. Then just when we thought it had finished it started again with even louder maroons.


Later on in the morning we could hear the fireworks from other nearby towns. Obviously their residents were allowed a bit of a lie in.
