Over the last few weeks we have started to get into the Village Life again. We live in a typical Pueblo Blanco called Guaro which has a population of around 2,000. During the winter the village is like a ghost town with most of the bars only opening a few hours a day.
The summer is a different story, a stage is set up in front of the Ayuntamiento at the end of June and it stays there until September. Every Saturday there is some form of entertainment and pretty much the whole village gets dressed up and slowly make their way to the square,stopping along the way for a spot of tapas.
Last Saturday was the first time we have managed to make it down there due to the fact that the entertainers don’t normally start until around midnight so we made the most of having a babysitter (Charlie’s Nana) and joined the rest of the village.
I have to say we struck lucky as, instead of the normal Spanish singers with a backing track or synthesizer, we got to see a ‘real band’ called Bueno Sombra. The band was fantastic and my only criticism was that they were not on for long enough.
