Fuegos Artificiales

After all the excitement of the Fiesta de la espuma there was no other option than to retreat for a well earned siesta. Yes I know it's only Tuesday but one has to pace oneself.

In the evening Don Duende took it upon himself to take Poca Muñeca of to the Fuegos Artificiales down on the coast at Almuñécar. So I was left on my own to deal with Hombre del cohete, though I must admit I think he has taken my words in his shell like last week on board and has not been quite as reckless as last year. A pleasant evening. Don Duende and Poca Muñeca were in high spirits when they returned, a barrage of brilliant, cool, spectacular, amazing, fantastico. I think they enjoyed themselves. How do fireworks on water work?

Factiod: Almuñécar is a municipality in the Spanish Autonomous Region of Andalusia on the Costa del Sol between Nerja (Málaga) and Motril (Granada). It has a subtropical climate. Almuñécar is in the Province of Granada and lies on a prominent headland between two rivers Rio Verde and Rio Seco.

Almuñécar began as a Phoenecian colony named Sexi, and even today, some of its inhabitants still call themselves Sexitanos. Under the Moors, Almuñécar blossomed as the fishing town of Al-Munakkap ("Fortified City") or Hins-al-Monacar ("Surrounded by Mountains").

The annual fiesta, Fiestas Patronales De Almuñécar, runs from 9th to 15th August and is honour of the Virgen de la Antigua. The spectacular fireworks display on the night of the 15th is popular throughout the region.
