We were stuck in a parade. Not stuck, really, but we couldn't get back to our apartment. More like...cornered. It was a traditional 12th day of christmas parade where the three kings/magi/wise men come to visit in floats, accompanied by camels, african masks, dancers, and flatbed trucks and shower the children with candy. In particular, we liked Balthazar. I'm not going to go into detail about the pronunciation of his name here in spain. We like the fact that the city here dedicates so much time, energy, and money for it's citizens. They take care of the city, yes, but moreso, they provide a lot of events for the inhabitants to take part. They seem to give back quite a bit.
