Friday Evening

We then returned into town after dark, when things were even more hectic. At about 10pm, there was a parade of about 30 decorated wagons from Huelva, each pulled by teams of 8 mules and donkeys. Huelva is the main City and Province where El Rocio is situated, and presumably had this honour as host Province. The parade wended its way through the crowds, stopping and starting, with hundreds of outriders on horses. Got back about midnight for more drinks with our hospitable neighbours, Roguilo & Mercedes from Madrid and Filipe & Francoise from Cordoba. Roguilo (Roger) spoke excellent English but the others only spoke Spanish.
