Daily Drena: Halloween Costume Inspiration!
We are tired from yesterday’s big day, but power up and walk around town again, back to the beach. Unfortunately our beach day is rainy and chilly, so we find a comfy restaurant on the beach and hang out on the couches most of the afternoon, planning our next trips. On our way back to the hostel, kids keep popping out of their doors all dressed up in costumes, so we make a spur of the moment decision to turn around and follow where everyone tends to be heading and catch a local parade. The costumes were quite elaborate! An integral part of each costume is a place for their drinks – clever.
After the fact, we read about it here:

When we’ve had our fill of the parade, we weave through the costumed crowd (not so easy with bags) and catch a later bus to Malaga and our hostel near the center of town.

- Yum.

- We saw these popping out of doors, then later in the parade. They are paint cans.

- Too cute.

- Celebrating 30 years of the celebration.

- She was rocking the “I am a princess” look, with just her facial expressions and her posture.

- Cool shoes.
This looked like a great Halloween Costume inspiration. I think they might give Mardi Gras a run for its money. I read the article. Were you there for that unusual part of the festival “Buriel of the Anchovy or Sardine” , followed by fireworks? That must be quite a strange spectacle. I’ll show this to Dad. We are ranch bound by floods. This is the third day of huge floods and we can’t get over the road.
Keep enjoying all the wonders of travelling and different cultures. FUN!!!
Love, Mom 🙂
