Quasimodo Day - the Campo

We followed the caravan to it's parking place amongst the olive groves and while Maricarmen & friends unloaded the table, chairs, food and beers, we took our leave to wander off and have a look around. We were however invited to return for something to eat and no was not an answer that was acceptable. So promising to come back, we went for a wander.
The following pictures give a good idea of the general scene.






















After about an hour we returned to the party and were warmly welcomed with food and more beers and wine. I know we have mentioned in previous posts about how welcome we have been made to feel here, but the warmth and generosity shown to us today surpassed anything that has gone before. We had nothing to offer in return but that didn't matter as long as we had a good time....and we certainly did.









People flitted in and out of the party and this chap is Maricarmen's brother, David. She told us that she had seven sister's and six brother's and that she was number thirteen. David was number nine. We also met number four as well.


Quasimodo day apparently goes on through the night and into tomorrow. We had a fantastic time and I hope that sometime in the future we can repay some of the generosity shown to us today.
We left the party at about five thirty and headed off home.
