The much anticipated Viva America parade, the climactic event ending a festival celebrating the Latin American community living here in Madrid, was held on Sunday evening. I'll let the pictures and videos illustrate the beauty of these people and their culture.
Beautiful people.Colorful dress.
Sweet music.
Lovin' life.
Each Latin American country was represented by their people dressed in traditional costumes who performed their typical dances.
The parade ended with a moving dance party, where notable Latino bands perform on the top of tractor trailers. The Colombian singing sensation, Mojarra Electrica, brought rhythm and dance to the crowds in the streets. They were my favorite!
On Monday, SK & I traded the bustling city sounds for the quiet hush of the winds in the mountains above the small pueblo called Cercedilla, just an hour train ride from Madrid. We hiked for over 4.5 hours, only stopping for a snack and an overlook photo-shoot, and we were happy to be in the Great Outdoors... as seen in my exciting pose below!
