A pintoresque place :)))
One beautiful weekend, our friend Hippo went to visit Chinchón. Chinchón is a pintoresque town sited in the South-East of Madrid. Though small, Chinchón is known for its festivals, a big draw for people from nearby Madrid, and those visiting it. Two of the biggest are the Chinchón Festival de anis y vino, a celebration of locally distilled anisette and wine, which takes place and the end of March, and the October garlic festival. In October of each year the central plaza also offers a bullfighting exhibition with the profits going to charitable causes.
Nice place! I love medieval style buildings, right up there with Baroque and Gothic (a personal favorite). I'm curious what they do in October garlic fest :p we love ♥ garlic :D
