La Noche de la Luna Llena (the Night of the Full Moon)

This festival was held on the 4 and 5th of July from 8:00 pm to 2:00 am. It was held all over Segovia, with different activities in the many plazas and courtyards. This festival basically brings together a bunch of different artist, who showcase different art pieces, most of which tend to be interactive.

We started out in the plaza near the aqueduct and got to see a walk through heart made out of lights, plastic tubbing, and wood. The artist said that she the walk through was created in the shape a of the heart and the lights were supposed to represent the stars.

We then headed up to the plaza mayor. Along the way, there were three ice sculptures. As they melted, blocks of string were revealed. The artist said that the point of these sculptures was to represent that as people touched the ice and melted it, that the string (the culture) was revealed. I really liked this piece because of the symbolism.

We saw a few more pieces but we didn't really stop at them.

Once we got to the plaza mayor, they had really cheap drinks and fruit kebabs. I got both and the drink tasted like a version of a Limon soft drink but an expensive version. The fruit kebab was great and I early enjoyed it. It was really sweet and there was a powder on it that made it even sweeter but it didn't feel like sugar. We then headed to a bar, where some of the people started to dance. I decided to head home because I was tired and so left them there.
