Halloween is close!

Halloween is close! Halloween is approaching, it’s close… Are you ready for the holiday? Hurry-up, the shops are still open and there is still a choice of different funny (and horror!) suits of all sorts of evil spirits.

Traditional tunnel of horrors will be erected in a Playa de Aro, just in front of the sports pavilion, a favorite attraction for children and adults, the bravest will be able to enter this tunnel starting at 21:00 on October 31st. And in order to alleviate the tension of the exhilarating waiting, you can watch a children’s festival (beginning at 19:00), and then for fans – a twirling show (beginning at 20:00).

The M2 Lux team wishes everyone to have a good time!

As usual, in June 2017 in Playa de Aro, on the territory of a free parking lot (the one where there is a noisy market on Fridays), traditionally takes place the exhibition of American Cars, held by the Catalan American Cars Club. Everything is as usual – cool cars made over the past 50-60 years, the roar of engines, tires are smoking, sausages are frying, loud rock from the speakers, the public in cowboy hats 🙂
A quick photo report about the event this year can be viewed at the link – American cars 2017.

Tractor drivers festival in Vidreres 2017

Tractor drivers festival in Vidreres 2017
Vidreres is a relatively small town located on the right, if you take the C-35 highway towards Barcelona, just before the Lloret de Mar exit. Here, right in the fields, every year the fun holiday Fira de Tractoristes de Vidreres takes place. It’s dedicated to agriculture and the most important machines involved in the difficult task of growing harvest – tractors! More than a hundred growling monsters, all kinds of colors and years of manufacture take part in the traditional defile of tractor drivers, some of those machines are older than their drivers!
A short story about how the festival of tractor drivers took place in Vidreres in 2017 with numerous photos can be viewed following the link.

Giants procession in the Spanish Village, Barcelona

Giants procession in the Spanish Village, Barcelona
The procession of giant dolls is a Catalan tradition, rooted in the deep Middle Ages. Every self-respecting town, even a very small one, usually has a pair of giant dolls who take part in local festivals and sometimes travel to neighboring cities.

This time the procession of dolls took place not just anywhere, but in a Spanish Village in Barcelona, so we could not miss such a spectacle! The procession was attended by several dozen giant dolls and much more living people from the staff of the doll service teams.

The story of the history of this entertaining tradition, as well as photos of how the procession of giants in the Spanish Village in Barcelona looked this year, can be viewed at the link.
