Annual Fiesta Villanueva del Trabuco, Spain - 2013
Some images from the Fiesta 2013. The first set of 6 are from the kids tractor races in the main Plaza. With the covering of canvas over the square, lighting is not easy for moving shots and taking photos is subject to being whacked on the lower regions by dare-devil drivers intent on winning. The Fiesta goes from around 7th to main parade event on 15th September (last day being the anniversary to celebrate the Saint - Virgen Dolores - and on last day the huge float is carried right around the village by 58 strong men. Afterwards, for weeks, car tyres squeal loudly due all the candlewax on the roads. Evening music events (many also with other events during the duration) generally start around 11pm and can go through until 7am. Bars already have hundreds of tables and chairs ready for the crowds - not just all from the village as coaches come from around the area.
