Day 34

The fireworks were perhaps the best I´ve seen in my life... I´ve never seen anyone light fireworks of a church before... quite spectacular with amazing music.

The city is alive with music, and people. The church was packed out today for the arrival of the Patron. They did the big swingy incense thing. I stood near a pillar as I only arrived an hour early and wasnt able to get a seat. Today I made a vow once again to never be a mean little old lady with pointy elbows.

After church, a large separatist group formed in one of the plazas to sing and dance which then led to a parade through the streets with bagpipes, flutes, castanets and songs in Gallego.

I´ve eaten enough octopus to last a lifetime
