Padrón and the "Asnot" festival!

Too many and too often!
Something I just came across that has left me with a big grin on my face! :) It seems that the town of Padrón is gaining fame for something more than just green peppers and stone boats. For a number of years Padrón has been spoofing Britain's "Royal Ascot" with their own Asnot festival. As the writer explains:

"The name Asnot was the first jumping off point. “Asno” is a synonym for donkey in Spanish, and then came the realisation that it could also be a play on Ascot, the historic British horse race beloved by the late Queen Elizabeth.
It was decided that the festival would, respectfully, take the piss out of British culture – something that has had particular resonance since Brexit – along with serving as a creative and fun celebration
." :)
