They call it the bottle

Although I have commented about the drinking habits of people in Bigastro, there is one aspect that is to say the least annoying. The young people organise what is called 'botellón' during the summer months. In Bigastro it is up at La Pedrera where they congregate until the early hours of the morning.

At Campoamor large numbers congregate on the Esplanade de la Dehesa much to the annoyance of the residents there. Young people arrive in cars with carrier bags laden with plastic glasses, bottles of rum, gin, whisky along with mixers and proceed to party.

You can just imagine the sort of problems this creates, for one thing there are no toilets in the area.
