Alamos - 2008 |
|
|
|
Each day during the 10 day music festival, there are daily concerts or dancers or one thing or another. There is a concert each evening at the opera house and a free concert each evening in one of the plazas. |
|

|
After the opera house concerts, a couple of guys lead a burro up the street in front of the opera house, and then they start passing out wine from jugs in the packs on the burros back. |
|
After the burro arrives, a group of young people from a local music academy arrive and sing and play music in front of the opera house. After a while everyone: musicians, burro and spectators move off and walk around the cobble stone streets with the music and wine going. Lot's of fun! |

A quiet side street of Alamos as we walked around with the procession. |

One day we went to the old Alamos city cemetary. |

One evening the free concert in one of the plazas was a marimba group from Oaxaca. The marimba was about 14' long and all four people played it simultaneously. They were really incredible! |

We went up to a lookout point on a ridge above the town. It appeared that some school classes were there for an outing. |
|
|
|
From the lookout we could see the old cathedral down in the main plaza. |
