Never let it be said that Pedro, the Mayor is afraid of getting his hands dirty. Just a few weeks ago we had him personally delivering the bull on Bull Run Sunday and today he could be found hanging crochet hoops from the top of a scaffolding tower whilst being pushed around the Plaza by Andrea and a team of ladies.

It was one of those charming and vaguely comedic scenes that you come across on a daily basis here.

I had wondered when the display was going up. No sign yet of the promised centrepiece – I’m desperate to see it completed before I leave for the UK tomorrow but as they say, there is always manaña.
