One of my readers has wondered about the strange trees that line the Plaza Mayor here in Sahagún. In the early spring they were only bare trunks and a few branches, but are now in the process of blooming out with leaves and new growth that will create fine shade by mid summer. I took these two photos several weeks apart to show this process. I will probably be showing this scene again soon, since Sahagún is gearing up for its annual fiesta, which is dedicated to San Juan de Sahagún, the patron saint of one of the local churches. This will be the most festive of all the fiestas here. We are told to expect that we won't get much sleep during the festival, since night time concerts on the plaza begin after midnight! We can hardly wait!
