Exaltation of the Lilacs, Villaviudas

I have been meaning to publish this entry for years... and this year the "stars" have aligned. This week on the blog, I am not taking you to a distant place, but rather to a destination closer to my home. To the Palentine town of Villaviudas, where each year a fair is held around one of the most traditional flowers in the courtyards and gardens of this land, the Lilacs.
