Cangas del Narcea

Cangas del Narcea is a town that is about a 10 minute car ride to the south from Carriles. Carriles is Felipe Linde’s village in Asturias. (population is about 24 people including our relatives still there). Cangas del Narcea has a festivity ( in Spain there is a Fiesta for whatever reason) called La Descarga which means ” hell breaks loose with fireworks”. Its done once a year in July to honor the Virgin of Carmen, the town’s saint. We have cousins in Cangas del Narcea as well and we were visiting them a few days before the Fiesta took place. They wanted us to stick around for it but couldn’t because we needed to start heading for Barcelona. This video shows La Descarga.
