| Description: | Contrast is very light, not too clear, shaky, rolling The riotous merriment of the peasantry is climaxed by a gorgeous display of grotesque and picturesque floats in the pageant that concludes the celebration at this noted Mediterranean resort. The ancient village, fired by the spirit of olden times, observes the vent with colorful street dances, where the simple gaiety of the poor laboring classes reaches the pinnacle of pleasure. | |
