Sights from the Fiesta

I knew that Dan and I would be getting to Logrono the week of the San
Mateo festival, but I SERIOUSLY underestimated what it means to have a
party in these small Spanish towns.

The Fiesta de San Mateo is a celebration of the wine harvest, and it's
basically a week long party that consumes the entire town.

Since the moment that fountain went off, it has been non-stop in the
streets. Bull-fights, fireworks, constant parades, horses, music, food
and wine, floats, protests, dances - you can't turn around without
tripping over a marching band. This is one of the coolest city-wide
parties I have ever been to.
