3. San Jose en Mer – La fiesta de vecinos, familia y amigos

San Jose en Mer Sober Ribeira SacraIt is all about him, San Jose. He is our local saint and usually lives quietly in the little capilla in Mer (Sober).

Once a year at least Mer in Sober is not sobrio  (sober in english is sobrio).

Sreet cleaningOnce a year the saint is aired, but before this happenes the wifes are let out out to support the besoms in street cleaning.

 

 

 

critically observed

Naturally this is critically observed and commented on by the local gentry.

 

 

 

 

 

And, like in real life, no sooner has everything been cleaned and sparkles, the sheep (or kids) come through……..

 

just when it sparkles
