Roman market

I didn't have any plans today, but as usual something cropped up and I went to a Roman market with my friend.
We took our dogs with us and had a pleasant afternoon wandering about the market, which was only quite small, and a walk on the sea front.

Roman soldiers being given some orders (I think)

A stall full of witches

Lovely little pottery houses

A toy stall

Octopus for dinner?

Childrens chair swing roundabout

The sea got a bit choppy when it got breezy

ChoCho having a rest

Leather bags

statue in the harbour (not sure what it's supposed to represent, but the faces are scary)

Seagull landing

Re: Roman market

Today was in Torrevieja. We are lucky in that we are within a few miles driving of many lovely places and there´s always some fiesta or event somewhere. On the 2nd May myself and 3 other friends will be going to the running of the wine horses, this will be my 4th time to this event and the first time for 2 of the friends going with me. It only happens on the first Tuesday in May every year and it is the most colourful, noisy, crazy day you can imagine.

If you like the Roman theme, you should try the Roman and Carthaginian fiesta in Cartagena, it´s very spectacular.

Cartagena is a naval town and it is really beautiful, one of my very favourite places.

We have the carnivals in February, the May fair, various fiestas, now we have the Moors and Christians fiestas coming up, there´s certainly always something to see, no wonder my housework never gets done

Re: Roman market

Thank you all. I wanted to get photos of the soldiers marching through the market, but we were either eating and the camera was switched off, or by the time I´d got the camera switched on they´d gone past. One day I will be well organised, just not sure when that day will be.

Tess, I would love to go time travelling, but these events are the best I can manage for now.

Re: Roman market

They look fantastic! Lucky you!
