Halloween 2015 - Mer - Sober - Ribeira Sacra

Halloween 2015 – Mer – Sober – Ribeira Sacra

 

Another year went by – The leaves have colored, ghosts appear and the fire is lit.

The conxuro is read an appropriately saluted with aguadiente or “fire water”.

It was a great evening. Thanks to all our neighbors, friends and acquaintances who came and made this an occasion.

Paco & friend provided great entertainment which, together with some queimada encourage dancing.

To see so many people enchanted by the flames, the conxuro and the “fire water” made us proud to know you all.

This year our cura nearly forgot us so he was a bit in a hurry, which was good news as there was a bitterly cold wind blowing.

Seeking shelter on the sunny side of Juan’s house we could enjoy some sun shine and nibbles with suitable liquid to wet our appetite.

On our last visit to its birthplace Barbara could already enter through the future door and stand on the floor which has been fitted.

There will be a nice roof extending slightly – wait and see.

We checked with “Grua” (transport) and they will co locate this for us from its birthplace to Mer.

So looking forward to see you on the 14th of Decembre
Hasta Luego M
