Alright...I guess it's back to work time!  Still thinking on vacation though.  Here is a parade that we caught in Barcelona on our second day there (we missed something on the first day because it took forever to get to our place from the airport). This is the parade called Cerca Villa de doc dels diavles petits, which is part of the La Merce celebrations. This is video 1 of 2.

Took some video of the Moros y Cristianos (Moors and Christians) parade in Sagunto Spain. Here is part 4 of 4 (the longest video) to get a sense of the parade and costuming. It's a little game of thrones, but it looks fun. The festival of Moros y Cristianos represents the capturing of the cities by the Moors, and the subsequent recapturing (reconquista) by Christian armies.
