[Leica] Correfocs - Sitges Festa Major

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

A nice ambience! I ran into some random procession in the town Agost 
yesterday?not Moros y Cristianos like in Aig?es, and not fiesta patronal, 
just a random fiesta here at the end of the summer.

Un abrazo,
Nathan
