Fiesta de la Espuma

Took a wonder down to the church square and what I saw before me had me frothing at the mouth. The whole square was knee deep (people knee, that is) in froth and frolicking in the aforementioned froth were the pueblos ninos. Pondered if I should join in but decided that I would quickly be lost being of less that knee height and having a fine white coat. Bring on the dancing girls, they're more my thing.
Factoid: Los Guajares is an autonomous district located in the south of Granada province. Composed of three whitewash villages: Guájar Alto, Guájar Faragüit and Guájar Fondón. Only 20 minutes from the coastal resort of Salobrena, this is Moorish Spain at its best. With the ancient Muslim terracing and irrigation system still used to this day, Los Guajares is sandwiched between the mountain ranges of Sierra del Chaparral and Sierra de Los Guajares. Los Guajares comes from the Arabic word "Wa-run" that means steep or craggy, the area boasts spectacular scenery, an abundance of wildlife, and is one of the most unspoilt environments in Granada.
