From 12th to 24th 2011 Costa Rica was celebrating the “Fiestas de Palmares”. Palmares is a little town about one hour from San José. Every year around January they have the biggest parties of Central America for 12 days. Traditionally the Fiestas are opened by a tope, a parade of horses. Although the huge discos, which are only built up for these days, charge a high admission they are always crowded during the night. Furthermore the Fiestas are famous for the best bullfighting in Costa Rica. In Contrast to the traditional bullfights in Spain the Cost Rican bulls do not die at the end. However I do not agree with putting a bull into a stadium, annoying him just for the gratification of the spectators and watch people being hurt.
At the weekend I was able to visit Palmares and went to one of the concerts. Groups like Los Rabanes from Panama and Calle 13 from Puerto Rico were playing. Luckily at that Saturday it was not too hot and I enjoyed it a lot.
