It was the feast day for the patron saint of L'escorial, Saint Francis aka San Francisco. This monastery is outside Madrid, on the way to Segovia.
Kin Mun went on the monastery tour, with all its steps, but I piked out. I spent time in the town centre. There was a street parade for San Fran - all very dramatic and noisy. It was a cheerful version of the mournful Semana Santa parades at Easter.
Some pics - don't ask me who's who.
Some cute shops in the town.
But I was more interested in the meringue slice - my weakness!
