Jueves Lardero

hi¡¡

It's me Alberto, and I'm going to tell you about a tradition we have here in some towns in Spain.

The Thursday when the carnival starts is known as "Jueves Lardero". On this day in Soria, all the young people go to the countryside with their friends and stay there all day. Gastronomy plays a very important role and people eat the typical food of our region.

In Soria we celebrated last Thursday by going to a place named Los Royales, situated on the outskirts of Soria. The tradition is to eat bread, sausages (Chorizo) and eggs, there is even an old proverb that says "jueves lardero pan, chorizo y huevo."

I went to Los Royales at ten o'clock in the morning with my friends. We stay edthere eating and having fun all day. Then, at seven o'clock it started to get cold and we were very tired so we went home. Once I was at home, I fell asleep.

Later one of my friends phoned me to go out at night and he woke me up. We met at twelve o'clock and we went to a pub, but we only drank coca cola. I had a great day.

See you soon
