Light show in Strasbourg. Festival de las luces en Estrasburgo.

El verano en Estrasburgo es de lo mas entretenido, hay cantidad de eventos y espectaculos para atraer aun mas la atencion de los visitantes.

Para dar la bienvenida al verano hubo un desfile de verano "Parade de ete", que aunque no fue lo mas llamativo del mundo, si que le dio a la ciudad un toque especial y de color. Podeis ver las fotos abajo de los participantes del desfile en sus zancos, especie de duendes y seres del bosque :)

Summer in Strasbourg is pretty entertaining. There are so many events and shows all around the city, it's amazing! It even attracts more visitors!

To start with, we had a summer parade to welcome the summer season. It was not the most beautiful parade I've ever seen, but people participating were very good, especially walking around on their stilts. You can see some pictures of the "forest creatures" :)

Ademas, durante los meses de julio y agosto, hay varios espectaculos de iluminacion en la ciudad, los siete dias de la semana! Uno de ellos es en la catedral, justo al lado de nuestra casa. El espectaculo empieza a las 22:30 y consiste en un juego de luces acompañado de musica clasica que dura unos 20 minutos y se repite cada media hora. Solo hay musica durante las dos primeras repeticiones y luego solo el juego de luces. Es precioso!! 

Os dejo algunas fotos del primer dia. El centro era un hervidero, hubo un concierto de musica clasica y opera y a continuacion, el espectaculo de iluminacion. 

Ahora me he acostumbrado, pero el primer dia me parecio grandioso. Espero que os guste!

Besides, during the months of July and August there are several light shows around the city, seven days a week! One of them is at the cathedral, just next to our house. The show starts at 10:30 pm and it consists of a light display all over the cathedrals gable together with classical music. It lasts around 20 minutes and it repeats every half an hour. The music only plays the first two times so the neighbors are not bothered :) but the light show keeps on going until the sun rises again. It is fantastic!

Here you can see some pictures of the first day of all. The city center was crowded, there was an opera concert at the beginning and then the show. I have seen it many times in this month and I'm getting used to it, but I think it is just beautiful! I hope you like it!
