Dear Rose,
The Next 17th of June I want to invite you to my house because there’s a special day in my town : the feast of Ribera’s virgin. Is a typical and traditional feast of my town that it does from more than hundred years.
The feast is celebrated on 17th of June. It start's when the men dress up with the typical clothes, they take as the torches and after, they climb up the mountain of Santa Magdalena. In the seame time, all the women dress up with the typical clothes of Cataluña too. ( I've attached a little photo in the back of the letter!). Then, in the evening when the men run out of dinner, they begin to *) down the mountain. When they arrive at the town with the torches, all the “pubilles”( The women) give them some muscat.
Every year I've participated in this feast and I like so much. It’s very exiting and beautiful to see, because you’ll see a combination of the fire of the torches and the elegant of the typical dress. I think that would you like!
I hope that you can came here for see this special feast for me . Looking forward to hearing about you!
Xènia
