Nigüelas or the enchanted village

6 o'clock in the afternoon is not an appropriate time to wander through the streets of an Andalusian village. It is still very hot. People are just getting up from their siesta and the very few which pass by me wonder why I take pictures of windows and shutters. surely another nutter of the tourist they seem to mumble. I stopped at the entrance of this little street as I heard some music playing. Until yesterday, Nigüelas held a classical music festival along with master classes. It was a joy to discover the young brilliant Korean violonist Hyojung Park and I love the idea of summer music festivals in little villages.

the open door was clearly an invitation to enter

I peeped inside only to catch a glance at
a peaceful and refreshing patio....

....and how lovely....

.....I could not help myself
I stole a photo of her
she just looked surprised and smiled
and resumed her practising....

the main plaza is deserted except for
some kids playing
the church will open its doors in 3 hour time
for the concert

.....the vine makes me think september will be here soon
and nearly everyone in the campo will be busy
making its own mosto, a traditional sweet wine...

...but for now the summer days are still long and sleepy...

....and tomorrow around the same time
life will resume peacefully in the enchanted village...
