May 11-15 is the San Isidro festival in Madrid. Other than knowing that San Isidro is Madrid's patron saint and having found this extensive schedule of events, I am not sure what the details are regarding this festival. But, I was able to catch the kickoff parade in Sol this evening - it was a little bit different :). I've never seen dancing giants before...
A few of the gigantes making their way into Sol.
A cabezudo walked right by me, so he got his picture taken :).
The gigantes men lined up to do a dance.
The gigantes women lined up to dance.
I think I surprised him...
A few members of one of the bands taking a break.
Right before those of us taking photos were shooed
out so they could begin the dance.

Spain is different.
I didn't know they had a celebration just for Bethany Hamm in Spain!
The giant lady in the red dress seems like she is going to fall soon as she is leaning to the right. kinda creeps me out...
