Photography in Spain

One thing you should never leave home without in Spain is a camera. Photo opportunities arise in the most unexpected places, at the most unexpected times during the day. For example, I was in a fabric shop, incidently for the first time in my life, in Estepona. I was engrossed in housewive's chit chat when all of a sudden I could hear what seemed like the sound of a flute not unlike the sound of the instruments played by the merfolk. To my surprise, on a wednesday at mid-morning there was the most enchanting procession called the "rocio". It was magical and almost surreal considering the context in which it took place. I mean it is not everyday that you see cows carrying a shrine through the streets, proceeded by men, women and children all in traditional attire. Unfortunately, I was unprepared but I vow never to go anywhere without a camera again.
