After a bit of standing around and moving one table about 6 times, stands were set up for an 11.00 start.
All sorts of organic products were for sale such as chocolate, fruit, vegetables, bread and vegetarian paella cooked using solar technology (I must say I would have preferred seafood to tofu).
Other WWOOFers, Gerrard, Arias and Charlie, sampling the paella.
Street performers had the task of encouraging tourists and locals to move further than the shopping precinct to the fair.
Torredembarra had some buildings of interest and the usual winding narrow streets in the older part of the town, as well as an amusement park close to the beach.
I think this sign is talking about the effects of the plague on the town in the 1600s, but I could be completely off the mark!
We had plenty of free time during the day and evening and spent some time at the bar (of course) and walking to the beach. It was a bit cool by the time I got there and there wasn’t anyone swimming though lots of people were traversing the promenade and being accosted by the ubiquitous sellers of tat.
There were various seminars on during the day but as my Spanish/Catalan was not up to this (haha), the only session that I could understand was making jewellery out of re-cycled materials-in this case, newspaper. We were joined by a couple of WWOOFers from another farm.
With Arias, making "beads"
Mi collar (my necklace)
We picked up a surprising package at the market. There are already cats and kittens at the farm but this one is tame. Her name is Lolita and, once back at the farm, she had to be kept away from the other cats in case they attacked her.
It was a very long day, not helped by Jose having to get a puncture repaired before we could set off home. We eventually arrived back after midnight.
