Santiago Festival

Posted by EmmaGrayandAndyDunne 16 August 2006

The Santiago Festival (end of July) is a great experience, but it doesn't get started until 10/11pm, and continues well into the early hours. It involves many lavish parades with dancing and costumes, and there is a great party atmosphere. The only problem is that you need to get there early ( 8pm) to get a good seat.
