Some Spanish Celebrations!

Can you see these puppets? We learned later that some of them date back to the 1800's and are restored and used during these festivals.

They varied between about 20-30 feet tall and people would hold them on their shoulders and dance with them.


It was truly amazing.




Here you can see me standing next to a couple of them that aren't even the tallest ones!!!














Hopefully you can see here these human towers! They are truly amazing. We saw the men wrapping themselves in these huge black clothes. We were trying to guess what was happening when we saw them being wrapped up. Someone overheard us talking and explained that people would be making human towers.



They would crawl up each other and when they made the towers and then the towers supported by about 30 men and women would walk through the square.
