Botellon

Last night was one of the craziest parties I have ever witnessed. Every year on the first day of spring everyone congregates behind Hipercore (a department store) and parties all afternoon and into the night. It's called a botellon, coming from the word botella which means bottle. Everyone brings bottles of wine and sangria to the parking lot and just drinks. I've heard many different estimates but there were at least 3,000 people there. My friends and I got there at about 11 and there were people there of all ages. I saw kids who looked about 16 and then I saw people who looked like they could be my parents' age. It was absolute madness. But apparently it's like a known thing and it happens every year. They even had a clip of it on national news that night! and I was like, hey I was there! I'm obviously getting my share of culture! :)

I could tell you about the Cathedral in Granada that we also went to see yesterday, but it's just not as interesting.
