SEEING IS BELIEVING

Yesterday afternoon we had the opportunity to see in the 1st Spanish TV channel its "magazine" evening "Spain direct"; As usual, especially in the summer, the writing of this program moves to Spanish towns where important parties are held.

As expected, they moved to Alicante, in full festivities of the Hogueras, where no one has put problems so that the Beauties of the Fire fulfill their traditional ritual of becoming protagonists of exception of the party. Well, after a brief tour of the Levantine city, pressing its festive atmosphere, the program moved to Galicia to see how the night of San Juan is prepared.

Of course we hoped that the chosen point was La Coruña as the only city, together with Alicante, that its Bonfires enjoy the title of International Tourist Interest, in addition to having been, in previous years, the cameras of this program taking pictures Of our city on the eve of San Juan.

It was not so, to our surprise, the projected images corresponded to the preparations of the night of San Juan in the beautiful coastal town of Camariñas.

We have nothing against that endearing Coastal Villa that enjoys worldwide renown for its lace; However, it would be normal for La Coruña to be the other chosen city. No, it has not been like this, It seems as if we had lost a little the train to which so much work and effort cost us to climb and all we owe to the arbitrariness of these of the tide that in the end will get our San Juan loses prestige Achieved over the years.

We know that on the 24th, it will be announced, in a triumphalistic way, with a hype, that more than 100,000 people crowded the beaches; Even some of the "grateful stomachs" will publicly say, in exchange for the corresponding 30 coins, that nothing was missed. We'll see what happens next year.

It took a lot of work to get here to allow now, arbitrarily, everything is thrown overboard.

What I said, see to believe!
