Loud celebrations on Gandia Day (Spain)/ Celebraciones ruidosas en el Día de Gandia (España)/🎉🎈🥂🎉

Currently, I am temporarily living in a small but cosy Spanish town in Spain - Gandia.
Yesterday, Gandia gave its residents, including me, a lot of fresh and vivid impressions, because yesterday the city celebrated its day.

I would like to point out that the celebration of such high-profile holidays in Spain is incredibly loud, interesting and large-scale.
As is customary, we prepare for the holiday in advance.

It all started when my daughter was told to buy a drum for school two Sundays before the holiday.

Not really knowing what it was all about, we just bought a ready-made drum in a shop nearby, and on the Friday before the weekend, a costumed drumming procession began around the city, as if to announce the start of the holidays.

At the same time, interesting fairs were opened in the city, located in the colourful narrow streets of our town, lavishly decorated with flags and neon lighting.

At these fairs, you can buy the most diverse and intricate things, amulets, jewellery, handmade soap, decorative baskets, pirate souvenirs and various delicacies.

How can you go without them at such a large-scale celebration?
At least 3 stages for various concerts and events have been set up next to the fair, calling the townspeople to come out and join the mass celebration.

However, our photos, which we took tirelessly throughout the walk, will tell the best story about our adventures.

I would like to add that many museums and other historical monuments of the city are open during these holidays, so I hope to continue our cognitive journey today to get to know our new town better.

I hug you all and wish you a wonderful day.
