Every year Don Bosco's Centor  proposes a theme for the carnaval and prepare the event with the children. This year the theme was THE SHOWER ! During two weeks the volunteers and the children prepared disguises: shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, sponge bob, etc. And we are participated in the parade!

This week end two volunteers were in Baiona to visit this city and to enjoy the party. What is the party ? Baiona, in the province of Pontevedra, celebrates this festival with the arrival of the caravel Pinta at its port carrying the news of the discovery of America. In memory of this historic event, many events are held in March. The streets of the old town and nearby walks recreate a true medieval festival offering products characteristic of the fifteenth century craftsmanship. Visitors will encounter are musicians, jugglers, acrobats and other craftsmen who will lead their stay. Marie.
