Calella de Palafrugell, Spain
 Calella coast at Costa Brava
I have no idea what this street festival is called, it happened in July sometime, but I can say that these events happen all summer long in the streets of Calella, and many Spanish cities. You can't necessary expect them or plan for them, which adds to the fun of the surprise when one pops up on you.

At this particular event drum circles came barreling down the promenade with people pushing these unusual parade-float like costumes of chickens and dragons. Once we reached the end of the promenade the chickens and dragons were lit on fire and danced in the street, no one was injured (too terribly, some sparks ruined on-lookers clothing and left a few small burns, nothing to cry about. I mean it is Spain after all, anything for a good party).

Very tired hotel. Room basic and sparse. The food was basic with not much variety. The dining room was very crowded at times with queues for food.

Goede service, we kwamen met een extra persoon, hoeften niet bij te betalen. Engels sprekend personeel, zeer nette camping. Goed restaurant met zachte prijzen. Huisje voor drie personen is echt voldoende. Treintje is handig want dit is zeer steil maar erg leuke te doen

beach was lovely, the sea was so clear, it got deep quiet quickly which we loved and took the opportunity to do some snorkelling.

Not a great deal to do in Calella and not great transfer links to Girona Airport after the beginning of September.
