Last weekend were the parties of my little town and they were truly amazing. Some of the best days I've had here. The rumor that the Spanish now how to throw a party ain't no lie. They basically set up a fair, with rides and food stands and everything. But more fun than any of that were the "peñas" which are friends that form a group, give it a name, make shirts, have their own little house with a bar and couches and even build a car for the peña car races. I wasn't actually in one but I knew/met so many people. They're all very nice and welcoming to the foreigners.
Here are videos of the car races. My favorite peña, with my favorite boys, won.
