The Middle age often appears to us today as an almost intangible epoch, but fuller Fascination. As a history well over 1000 years ago, somewhere between antiquity and modern times, a picture of roaring knight games, burg romance and all sorts of things Mysticism.
be it just the girlish idea of the Ritters with golden hair, who manfully his way to Holden Maid fought for or the bitter fight for the throne of “Seven Kingdoms”, which fills many a cozy series evening. We found our portion of the Middle Ages this weekend away from any fantasy series and dusty book reading Festival Medieval in Castelló d’Empúries.
The Terra de Trobadors is a Multi-day spectacle, which every year in Medieval city center of the Catalan town and on the second weekend of September countless visitors on a journey through time to the old county of Empúries invites. Expectantly, we were ready for a trip to another time.
Already at the entrance to the town we were hard-working laundrs welcomed us with their authentic costumes and Industriousness not only reminded us of the Laundry Mountain that had been left over the weekend, but also directly beaming with joy on our little one Journey into the past.
If we followed our ears, the sound guided us a little later roaring drums to the church square, where Wildly dancing jugglers great fun for a boisterous audience. Quickly and ruthlessly snatched from civilization, we immersed ourselves in this other world. a world full Lovingly Costumed Resident In joyful company, all the actors and musicians who street theater invite or to one of the countless folk dance asked.
A world in which we can make our money talers exchange in order to then resist the numerous stalls and stands of temptation, not every one of the Handmade Bracelets, pleasantly fragrant Lavender bouquets and little ones delicacies to take away.
Freshly baked bread, which, with a beguiling scent and seemingly warmth, made my anticipation for dinner almost limitless, joined here stuffed olives and sinfully sweet baked goods.
In the midst of all the Opulently decorated streets, I watched all the beautifully dressed people. Graceful women in expansive clothes, little girl with tenderly woven flower wreaths In the hair, teenagers with a tousled hairstyle and joyful exuberance, which also seemed to be infecting me so slowly.
Just as the sound brought me into the place, so he led me out again. But I couldn’t help but notice a change: I was satisfied.
Spun by the medieval hustle and bustle, I lived the day far away from the time.
