This past weekend we celebrated the event with a participation of more than 20 groups and associations of historical reconstruction, adding more than 200 reenactors to the event. Virtually doubled the number of participants from last year's edition.

Among the activities to be performed include recreations of two battles, one held in the village of Baldellou.

Also of note is the large number of people and the participation of an association of collectors of old cars (not military) that showcased their "jewels" during the Sunday morning.

Among all the groups and the public reigned a great atmosphere of cordiality and comradeship.

Baldellou thank the people of their cooperation and kindness, and to thank forces of law ,and of course to all participants, especially members of the 2nd Battle group that made us the honor of participating in the event.

Thank you very much and see you next year.

Hi Petit,

Thanks for posting the such great pictures of what was a fantastic weekend - I got home last night at about 9:30pm UK time... tired but looking forward to coming again.
I cannot say thank you enough from all the SBG party for such a warm and friendly welcome we received from everyone in Spain.

Will try and post some of my pictures when I find my camera in my luggage.

Nice picture of Warren asleep on the job again... :)

Cheers, James
