In Aragón we have a folklore festival to celebrate the coming of May. 


Aside from the usual celebrations of spring, here it was common in villages for the young men to go declare to the women, in the night between the 30 of April and the 1st of May, singing a song at the door of her house that she would listen from her balcony. 

Sounds romantic when I write it like this, but of course, because it was a *very old* tradition, it also had a lot of misogynistic implications that luckily we left behind some decades ago XD


Nowadays we usually just play on a stage. A lot of rural towns have a group of rondalla, where we later go around the streets playing traditional music like jota or mazurca. We dress up with baturro outfits (kinda like the one you see in the picture Xd) and go around singing and playing guitar, lute and bandurria


It’s one of those seasons that make me feel good, so I wanted to make a seasonal pfp for it ^^
