Description

A FEIRA DE CARBALLO (LA FERIA DE CARBALLO) Hoy nos vamos de feria, a la Feria de Carballo. Pasemos de la historia y la espiritualidad al bullicio, la explosion de colores, la musica de gaitas y panderos, la mezcla de olores, la variedad gastronomica y el devenir del mercadeo. La Feria en Galicia mantiene aun ese espiritu medieval que le caracterizaba. Todos los fines de semana hay feria en algun sitio, y en todas hay mercado, música, baile… Los improvisados puestos tienen como mostrador en muchos casos, las cajas de la cosecha o las jaulas de los animales, ya que estos se venden vivos. Y después del mercado: la comida. Todas las fiestas tienen un titulo: La fiesta de la Trucha, del Pimiento, del Pulpo, del Percebe, del Mejillon, la Almeja, el Berberecho, la Sardina, la Empanada….incluso la humilde patata tiene su propia fiesta. LA feria sirve para conocer gente, reencontrar a los amigos y volver al mundo en un lugar donde la mayor parte de la gente vive en poblaciones que no superan los 1000 habitantes. La soledad del campo y la soledad del mar son espantadas aquí a golpe de gaita, con un buen plato delante y un calido trago de Alvarigno. La de Carballo es la mas importante de las Ferias de la region y se celebra el primer y tercer domingo de mes. Carballo es el nombre del pueblo, ademas en Gallego se llama asi al roble, de aquí la variedad de localidades con ese toponimico : A Carballa, Carballal, Carballino, etc. Ese dia, mi vieja Konica empezo a mostrar sintomas de agotamiento y solo pude obtener esta imagen. Como en todo buen viaje por el Camino de Santiago, en aquel periplo rompi mis botas (hechas para caminar) y jubile mi camara. No podian hacer nada mas por mi. Las botas no quedaron en Finisterre como es la tradición (tendria que haber vuelto descalzo), sino en Vigo. La Konica, tras un ultimo toque quirurgico, aun funciona, pero descansa merecidamente en mi vitrina de colección de camaras antiguas. Tuvieron una buena muerte!!!. Gracias, pandilla, por vuestros comentarios y visitas. Juan Angel This image is made with slide KodaChrome ISO 100 Camera: Konica TCX. 35-70 mm zoom. Scan Epson Perfection 1250, 300 dpi.

Automatic translation: Carballo´s Fair Today we're going fair, the Fair Carballo. Let's turn of history and spirituality to bustle, the explosion of colors, the music of bagpipes and panderos, the mixture of odors, and becoming gastronomical variety of marketing. The Fair in Galicia maintains that spirit even medieval characterized him. Every weekend there is a fair in somewhere, and everywhere there is a market, music, dance… The posts are makeshift desk in many cases, banks harvest or cages of animals, since they are sold live. And after the market: the food. All parties have a title: The feast of Trout, Pepper, the Octopus, the barnacle, mussel, clam, the cockles, Sardine, Empanada…. Even the humble potato has its own festival. The fair serves to meet people, find friends and to return to the world in a place where most people live in towns that do not exceed 1000 inhabitants. The field of loneliness and solitude of the sea are appalling here to blow bagpipes, with a good meal and a warm drink in front of Alvarigno. The Carballo, is the most important fairs in the region and is celebrated on first and third Sunday of the month. Carballo is the name of the people, in addition to so called Galician oak, hence the variety of locations with this toponym: Carballo, Carballal, Carballigno, etc.. That day, my old Konica started to show symptoms of exhaustion and only I could get this picture. As in any good trip through the St. Jacques Way, a journey that broke my boots (made for walking) and retire my camera. They could not do anything more for me. The boots were not in Finisterre as is the tradition (tendria that have become barefoot), but in Vigo. The Konica, after a last touch surgical even works, but deservedly rests on my showcase collection of antique cameras. They had a good death!. Thank you, gang, for your comments and views.

Una gran foto Juan y tu relato realmente me transporto mentalmente a las ferias de Galicia y recuerdo el sabor del pulpo cocido en barriles de cobre (en este momento pongo la cara de Homero Simpson al pensar en comida) ese pan de campo enorme y los litros de vino que permiten seguir comiendo esos manjares. Un gran recuerdo perdido allí en el tiempo y que tu me refrescaste. Un abrazo y Felicitaciones nuevamente!!!!!!!
