Lloret Medieval Event 2013

The 2013 Medieval event has got off to a lively start today with hundreds of people in the streets slowly edging their way from stall to stall. This is an event that takes place every year in Lloret and seems to get better each time. Street entertainers are everywhere dressed in all sorts of fancy costumes - some are really weird and scary looking as these photos show!

How they walk around on these legs I've no idea!

 Lunch is served!

 The smell of food been cooked on the large open barbeques fills the air, we didnt try any today but providing the weather stays fine tomorrow I know where we'll be having lunch!

Birds of prey were on show but its possibly the last year we will see these and the childrens donkey rides. The use of animals in these sort of events is now considered cruel, which I totally agree with! 

Human puppet show...
