Village Fiesta July 2014
Of course, said the villagers, dancing and partying were a part of village life in the “good old days”, but when the Pete Wilson Blues Band played in the Plaza Mayor of Bujalcayado on 27th July 2014, an audience of more than two hundred local revellers came to participate in the first such event for many years. The “Fiesta” was conceived as a first step towards raising the funds necessary to restore the village church and prevent its collapse. The band, who had performed for much larger audiences in Siguenza and Carabias on the two previous nights and have a traditional local fanbase , played without a fee as their contribution to the church restoration fund. The village worked eagerly to set up lighting and a bar and also in preparing a giant paella for the evening.
