It was really great to see the Giants and the parade Saturday afternoon. Shame I missed the cava reception - I regard myself as an expert cava drinker. I reckon with Liz 16 giants.

The rest of the thing was stupendous - loads of excellent gianting and giant groups - Liz has a thing about dragons of course so the dragon -though small, seemed to keep her happy - the petardos (fireworks) seemed to go down a small bomb (pun intended) - and the whole thing was brilliant. The Minister of Culture from the Generalitat (autonomous government of Catalunya) was happy to stand and talk, have his picture taken and join in the castellers in Exchange Square.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a Minister of Culture who knew about folk arts and could join in like that?

I suspect the legs are hurting because we spent seven hours stood up!! And almost without alcohol!!
