Spectacular, both the production of the competition and the flamenco show. Miss France 2024 was held in Dijon and broadcast on the TF1 television channel.
The full show:
A few years ago, and with hardly anyone noticing due to the required confidentiality, an entire filming set was installed right on the esplanade of the Church of Santa María de la Mota in Marchena. It was November 18, 2019, when Giorgio Armani had chosen Marchena as the ideal location to film part of the campaign for his new perfume “My Way.” The actress Adria Arjona, known for series such as Andor (from the Star Wars universe), True Detective, Person of Interest and Blood Omen, among others, stars in this advertisement in which she travels the world through countries that represent the essence of the perfume. And one of the ingredients is, in fact, orange blossom.

Memories of fairs from other years
Today, it has been a very special day. My cousin Cristina’s wedding. Of all my cousins, she was the first to have a wedding (my cousin Jorge had gotten married first, but civilly without any type of ceremony or celebration). It was in the church of San Juan Bautista de Marchena:
It has been an incredible wedding. Now it’s time to rest, my body is destroyed after many hours of dancing.
As an anniversary of the day completely unrelated to the above, today marks exactly 530 years since Christopher Columbus landed on a Caribbean island and named it Guadalupe, in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Cáceres (Extremadura, Spain).
All documentation, including the ship’s logs and personal diaries of Christopher Columbus, are preserved in Seville in the Archive of the Indies building. Right next door, in the cathedral, his mortal remains lie in an impressive tomb:

It is the only way to have control over your life. If you don’t depend on other people, they can’t subdue you. Put your attention on what depends on you, ignore what others do, it doesn’t deserve your attention. It is the only way to avoid being made to live on your knees.
As Emiliano Zapata said: “I’d rather die on my feet than always live on my knees.”

Carnival, carnival
There are circumstances in which you even forget who you are
If the plan doesn’t work, change the plan, but never the goal
