Festival del Oto̱o Рor the Autumn Festival is on this weekend celebrating the grape harvest. We went into town in the evening to check out the medieval themed market Рwhich also included puppet shows, a Moroccan tea tent, and plenty of delicious food!

I got my name and some for my sisters and parents:
It took pretty long for the ink to dry so I ended up waiting around the stall, but I didn’t mind so much!
Busy markets went on till late:
There were stalls in the main central square of the city and then they lined one of the streets branching up to another open area around what looked like a fort or castle. Not sure what it is – I still need to explore that part of the city!
The Moroccan tea tent:
The tea here was just amazing – mint tea! It was served in an ornate cup, which we’re allowed to take back with us.
