San Isidro is the Patron Saint of Nerja and the San Isidro festival is the biggest in Nerja. It's the one that the whole town takes part in and there is a huge parade from the church to the Caves, where there is a big party.
It's the best time to see all the men and women dress in their best clothes and have a good time.
Although the missus had very sore feet she eventually caved in to my cries and we walked to the caves to see what was happening. Although we didn't stay too long.
But next year we are going to prepare for it and hopefully take my niece along so she can dress up like a señorita pequeño and walk along with the parade's.
Anyway, here are some of my favourite photographs.
Next time I roll like this
If you look closely the horses you might notice something
Having a relax
This kid was the most photographed person at the festival. Fact!
A small selection of the very colourful dresses that were on display
Let the dancing begin
The missus after a few hours of walking. Doesn't she look happy!
And here is the slideshow
PS Please check out the missus flickr site, she has many more glorious technicolour photos.
Next is the Festival of San Juan. The one I am most looking forward too. Midnight BBQ's on the beach. What more could you ask for?
