Painting Of Corpus Christi Festival Benalmadena Pueblo By Vincent Van B
Corpus Christi is the Catholic holiday in honour of the presence of the body of Christ in the holy water. It is celebrated throughout Spain and is held in either May or June depending on when Easter occurs. To calculate the next Corpus Christi date, look for the first Thursday after Trinity Sunday (the eighth Sunday after Easter) and you’ll know when the fiesta is set to begin in towns and villages throughout Andalucia.
This is a painting from Benalmadena Pueblo by Vincent Van B from Corpus Christi 2016. Today it is still typical to carpet the streets of towns and villages with greenery for the solemn Corpus Christi processions. This adds a special ambiance to the processions. The Corpus Christi parades also tend to attract all the local authorities, and in some cases, military personnel as well.
What can be seen here is not the petals that adorn the smaller streets but the greenery that is essentially decorative only.
The Man Who Jumped Out Of A Painting In Craiova Romania. Some Of The Best Street Art
Craiova is a city around 4 hours drive from Bucharest in Romania. Some of the street art there is incredible and I will do a full article on that with photos, but here as an example we have a painting on the end of a row of buildings from which a casual passer by seems to have jumped out of the painting. Maybe he has.

This is not the first time I have posted photographs of waffles from Waffle Jacks in Merton, and it will not be the last. But they do make excellent photographic topics. Enjoy

10 Reasons To Go To Benalmadena Costa
1. You can see 3 day old Baby Barn Owls after going up in a cable car to the top of a mountain. You can also see incredible views
2. You can see Leopards in Funegirola Biopark. One of the few zoo type environments that I might bother with.
3. You can see Kestrels also at the top of the mountain
4. The fresh oranges taste like….fresh oranges. buy them daily.
5. The artists along the promenade do amazing portraits for really a low price and their speed is incredible
6. The night cruises from the Marina are fairly cheap and the feel of the summer wind on a boat in the night time is a lovely feeling
7. The nuts cooked in Mijas smell divine and taste just as good. A small bag costs only a few euros
8. Mijas is an example of a pueblo, and although a little touristy if you go at the wrong times when the coach parties descend, there are many occasions when you can almost have the town to yourselves. Coffee in the square is a nice treat
9. The exchange rate with the Euro is good currently and Spain is a cheap country to visit for UK folks
10. Mijas at night is an interesting place
