MANILVA FASHION SHOW.

SUNDAY 7^TH AUGUST 2011.

Sunday was the hottest day of the year so far in more ways than one; The Flamenco Music and Fashion Show Extravaganza was one “ Helluva ” night to remember ! The poster didn’t give the full picture of the night’s event to follow; as the catwalk was set up along Calle Mar in front of the Town Hall the atmosphere built up as the village took its seat. First on was the ‘ Carlos Poveda ’Flamenco group, who soon got the crowd going, they were very professional and as dusk came down the fire candles were lit and the street lights went off. The Show was presented by Manilva TV and was arranged by the Tourism Department of the Council. The street was packed and all the seats take as the Fashion Show started with the young children followed by the senorita’s and then the senoras, all local from the village, their families gave them vocal support as well as clapping along to the loud music. The pictures below shows just a small part of the show which went on till midnight; the only small problem was that the spotlight beam was too small and was positioned behind a tree ! I tried to tell the man but he wouldn’t listen !! Later as we were sat under the sonbrajo at Bar Rojas the flamenco group who were sat on the next table to us started an impromptu session that was rather special as they played for their own enjoyment with their family and children, who joined in ! Another “ Helluva ”night in sunny Manilva.
