You can find the schedule of the fiestas by reading this excellent publication, which was put together by some of the local youth, but that's besides the point of this post.
The fiestas end on the anniversary of our town's founding. In the morning, they mark the event with a giant parade.
The parade is giant in many ways. First, the entire town comes out for it — plus most of the neighboring town. Second, it lasts six hours.
Six hours.
It started at 9:00 a.m. and lasted until 3:00 p.m.
And it's not like there was much variety in the groups that marched. The pattern was typically high school war band playing the same melody followed by a group of students marching followed by an elementary school followed by a group of citizens walking followed by another high school war band playing the same melody.
I contend that Arenillas needs a bobsled team.
While the people who were watching the parade started to lose enthusiasm for what was going on and began milling about after a while, likewise the parade participants were also beginning to lose interest.
Look at this photo of a group of high school professors in the parade. Notice anything odd.
Luckily, with the help of computer technology, I can zoom in and point out ridiculousness.
But he wasn't the only one to take more interest in the news than the parade, a parade in which they were marching. Numerous people broke formation to buy a newspaper during the route.

¿Hay personas estaban leyendo AREvista? ¿O estaban vendiendo AREvista?
No està leyendo AREvista. Està leyendo otra revista. No vendieron AREvista durante el desfile porque muchos de los vendedores estaban desfilando.
