El Castillo Carnaval
Yes the spelling is correct, if you are Spanish…. The event
here seems to have been split between areas of the relevant
Ayuntamiento in Antigua, and culminating here in Caleta de
Fuste.
Friday night we enjoyed a trio calling themselves The Abba Show
although I’m sure the original group had four members? We were
also entertained by the Beethoven Brothers, a Beatles tribute
whom went the whole deal including Sergeant Pepper outfits and
Beatle haircuts.
Saturday night was literally a drag, a visual feast which was
very well attended but I suspect like the TV opinion phone in
of the other day, not everyone enjoyed what it appeared to
represent.
Sunday was the turn of the procession with a relatively short
but colourful variety of floats making their way around the
streets before the fireworks were let off, the poor old sardine
was burned (again) and the band began to play.
I understand there are more fiestas to come, I’ll be there with
cameras…or should I just get a drum and join in the
funk?…careful…. I said FUNK!
Hope you like the pictures………
