Unless you're a fisherman or a local shopkeeper, there's not a great deal for local people to do in Taganga. This not only explains their enthusiasm for throwing 'fiestas' at the least excuse, but could also be the reason that locals like to get ready for Christmas almost two months in advance! While I was here, the friendly family that lived opposite me had their decorations up and their Christmas lights switched on by the end of October, and were far unique in this! It was a little odd to be in 40 degree heat, not even past Halloween, with fairy lights lit in all the windows of the local houses. But for the local children - especially those who haven't yet reached school age - it's a welcome distraction from the daily routine of sitting on the stoop, and playing with the most basic of toys.
