Alicante: Día del alicantino de adopción

27 May 2012

Today, Alicante is celebrating día del alicantino de adopción with festivities in the Parque de Canalejas. The fiesta is meant to celebrate the diversity of the people living in Alicante, and the fact that Alicante's residents come from all parts of Spain.

El día del alicantino de adopción started at 12:30 with a parade. Later, when the festivities convened in Canalejas, there were different parts of the park dedicated to different regions in Spain--like Galicia, Castilla-Leon, Asturias, Murcia, etc.

Unfortunately, I missed the whole celebration due to some misinformation about the time and location of the event.

Instead, I went to a friend's apartment for lunch--where we enjoyed a rico Indian dish called chole saag.
