Viva España

Well done Spain - deserved winners of the Euro 2008 football tournament beating Germany 1-0........and what a night of celebration !!.


Prior to the game, many houses around the village were proudly displaying the Spanish flag.
No doubt where my loyalties lie. We had decided to watch the game at our favourite chicken restaurant, arriving at about 8.15 to ensure a good spot in front of the TV.



After a good meal, a fair few beers and a great game, the moment of victory came.
We left the restaurant shortly after the finish of the game and wandered home via the Plaza de la Concordia, which was starting to fill with people out to celebrate the win.
Car horns were blaring, music playing flags being waved and firecrackers going off everywhere.






These guys had somehow put firecrackers down the exhausts of their quad bikes, resulting in a dense cloud of smoke enveloping the plaza.
Apologies for the quality of some of these pictures....still trying to master the moving image and night technique's.








A mist descends over the plaza after the quad bike display.
