Jueves de comadres - empieza el Antroxu
Posted: Thu Feb 15, 2007 3:57 pm
Today is "Women's Thursday", which kicks off the carnival or Mardi Gras in Asturias and everywhere else, I guess. I know German ladies have their "Alt Weiber Donnerstag" today, too. That's when men have to stay at home and mind the kids and the women go out together for dinner and song.
In Gijón it's almost dangerous for men to be caught outdoors tonight, they might get mobbed by gangs of boisterous housewives!
In Pola de Siero, however, men are traditionally allowed to participate and go out to dinner and dancing, so the ladies have partners to dance with.
I'm on my way out...
