I love how the whole village participates in the festivals. This is our second winter here and we are grateful to be part of this community. This quote says it all:<br /> <br /> "Spain in general and Andalusia in particular teaches us<br /> that you can have no real communal life unless<br /> you have focal and celebratory events throughout the year,<br /> in which the large majority of people in that community participate.<br /> That is because the only true basis of community<br /> is not supposedly enlightened self-interest but actual shared experience.<br /> This is much assisted by the preservation of pre-industrial feasts and saints' days and by a due attention to the rhythms of the seasons.
