Last week we celebrated the Magdalena festivities in Castellón de la Plana. I went to the festivities and I enjoyed the festivity.
As a representative of "Festeros" from Oropesa I went to the "Pregó" and threw confetti and sweets to everyone. I enjoyed myself as a little girl.
I also went to "desfile de gaiatas" too. In Castellon the "gaiatas" are like "fallas" in Valencia, they are monuments made of lights and glass. In " gaiatas" parade people can see them with the lights on and they are really beautiful.Here some people walk and other people see them and ask them if you can give "la volteta" which means to go around so that they can see you properly. It was the first time that I was here and I found it funny.
When this finished, the "gaiatas" aren't burnt like "fallas", they can win an award.

In my opinion the festivities of Castellon are interesting but I like more the Oropesa festivities because this year I enjoyed a lot and because I go every year.
