The Berbers and a Mediaeval Market.




At the Easter weekend, I went to Los Alcázares where a 3-day fiesta was being held.It included a spectacular parade and a wonderful Mediaeval market.

There was a thrilling sword fight between mounted Knights, a live bear playing a trumpet, and lots of colourfully costumed Berbers.

Not a drunk in sight, not an unpleasant fight or incident anywhere to be seen. Just a lot of families and young people out on a Saturday night enjoying themselves.

It was a joy to experience and I can strongly recommend it for next year.
