Last day in Nerja

In  our last day in Nerja, Norma a friend had invited us for lunch which we willingly accepted.  We  went around to discover more of Nerja while we waited for lunch  time.  We were hoping to go to  the flea market but instead we were led to  the Plaza Verano Azul,  inaugurated in 2001 in honor of a famous  Spanish TV series in the 1980's and being  filmed in Nerja, made the town known all over Spain.   Of tourists interests, we saw the boat "La Dorada" that appeared in the television series. 

Time for lunch.  Norma prepared some anchovies and potato chips while she was getting ready with the rest of the meal consisting mainly of grilled fish and vegetables.   Ron kept  himself busy with the help of the appetizers.

We had a very good lunch after which we went for a siesta while waiting for the procession to start.  Then we went to see the procession where Norma participated.

I was amazed to see how the children had been so well-behaved while they took their own loads. I never have seen children participate before in this type of processions. I also observed the gaits and the elegance of how the young adults, both men and women separately carried the floats on their shoulders. It was a memorable sight to always recall.
