San Antoni 2012.

[CathB]

Sounds interesting ..i agree the square seemed really quiet when we were there in October,,,it was really strange

Have just had an email from Nostalgia to say there will be a couple of changes to their program.

On the 16th, there will a party around the bonfire with live Spanish Guitar Music from Fabian. Then later, inside, Colin will be playing 60's Radio Caroline oldies + karaoke until late. BBQ and A La Carte menu available.

Then on the 17th they will now open at 10am, serving bacon/egg baps, mulled wine and a lunch menu. In the evening Colin will be playing music from the 70's and karaoke until late.

There is a timetable of events for San Antoni/Sant Sebastia on the council website here Cicle.

Unfortunately, as usual there is nothing for PP which really makes me mad.

 

[Smiddy]

Sparky, Thanks for the info, looking forward to coming over. Anybody who loves PP should try and get over, at least once, for San Antoni. Such a lift at this time of year.

smiddy, see you are going over for san antoni, did you have to take flights from the shallow end or did you manage to get something from here?

also from your posts looks like a regular thing for you at this time of year so would appreciate more background as we have never been, thanks

A guy playing an electric violin will now be joining Fabian.

More mounds of soil are appearing around the Port and Geminis18 have some enormous logs, i think their fire will burn for a week .

Had a long walk around the port today Sparky, some of the fires are huge aren't they, massive tree trunks, as you say they will burn for ages, sitting on the balcony and can already hear fire crackers going off, cant wait for tomorrow

 

[Sparky]

They sure are SWS, i don't think anyone will be feeling cold tomorrow night .

 

[Fencer]

The Hostal Paris are having a SINGALONGADISCO on Tuesday (after the pine) from 6.00 pm onwards with Mel and Chris.

Just seen the bizarre sight of José from Bony walking up the road with an antique sideboard on a sack truck, must be heading to a fire !!!

Am looking forward to seeing photos of the fires as I've never been But a few years ago, I did a Spanish language course in Murcia during the week AFTER Easter. This is fiesta week in Murcia & culminates in 'ENTIERRO DE LA SARDINA' (burying & burning of the Sardine!) - the fire built is absolutely massive & very close to a block flats - no Health & Safety there - see ENTIERRO DE LA SARDINA. LA QUEMA DE LA SARDINA 2009. MURCIA - YouTube so I'm hoping for some impressive photos/videos tomorrow!

No pressure then Zelda , i will do my best but hoping some other members who are here will also post their pics .
