La Pandorga

"La Pandorga" is a popular holiday in Ciudad Real. It is celebrated the last day of July. In honour of the virgin "del prado".

In the morning people attend mass. After the mass the gather in groups and they dance typical manchego dannces. The typical drink this day is called  "zurra" and it is a mixture of white wine and lemon juice. In the evening the go to the main square and they do dancing activities organised  by townhall. All of a sadden a wooden bull appears running after people. In his horns he wears firecrackers.

My parents have told me about this celebration. It seems that people have been celebrating it for many years.
