The Castello parade


Castello became as one medieval town the last weekend. This is because in Castello celebrated the parade of Castello which is celebrated every year.

During the parade riders from a lot of different villages parade for the village and they follow the route that the town council has organized. Some people give them sweets and cookies with some for drink. A lot of people follow the parade and they make some photos. The priest blesses the horses and the riders when the route parade is in front of the cathedral.

I think that this is a nice form to pass the Sunday and that is good because the horses are in the habit of see a lot of people in the street. Personally I get bored the last Sunday during the parade because it-s very long and it-s always the same, but I think that is nice that the people could see the horses for the village.

The weather wasn’t very good because it was very windy but in general I enjoyed the parade with my friends.
The parade finished with one lunch and with a prizes present.
