The Annual Sella Water Fiesta

I may be able to 'wet your appetite' with this one - the annual water fiesta. A mixture of music, colour and water - lots of water! One of the few events where a 'total wash out' signifies a total success!

Last weekend was Fira time in Sella - the Crafts and Local Produce Fair - an event which takes place every year. The Plaza Mayor, decked out with colourful banners and lights, looked very festive. Among the stalls were lovely ceramics, basket ware and local specialities such as honey, chorizo sausages, wine and olive oil. There was a great atmosphere with music and dancing including the popular Jota de Sella and on Saturday, everyone was invited to partake of the huge paella, enough for 300 people, courtesy of the Town Hall and cooked on an open fire in the street. Antique furniture and farming implements were displayed, as usual, down the steps of the Calle Mayor and there was a painting competition, a honey making demonstration and village houses open to the public. On Sunday, a local photographic society KDD, chose Sella for their monthly meet and wandered around the village taking some amazing photos, some of which can be seen on flickr.
