When everyone is completely soaked from head to toe, the crowds return to town to celebrate at the Plaza de la Paz, followed by live performances and loud celebrations until the sun goes down.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"marker-heading seeker-place seeker-place-heading\" data-latitude=\"42.149117\" data-longitude=\"-2.268579\" data-placeurl=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/Rz2oxYFMI\/enciso-la-rioja-spain\" data-placeid=\"4281\" class=\"wp-block-seeker-place-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/seeker.io\/app\/place\/Rz2oxYFMI\/enciso-la-rioja-spain\">Hunt for real dinosaur tracks in Enciso<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gallery-slideshow-block seeker-slideshow-wrapper\"><button class=\"scroll-next\"> <\/button><button class=\"scroll-previous disabled\"> <\/button><div class=\"indicators \"><div class=\"indicator active\"><\/div><div class=\"indicator\"><\/div><div class=\"indicator\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"scrolling-container\"><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/15625544_352729071751496_3228058601759178752_n.jpg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">The Palaeontology Center, Enciso, La Rioja, Spain. instagram.com\/gina.ginger<\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/37773534_288633875231034_3915260107922866176_n.jpg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">The Palaeontology Center, Enciso, La Rioja, Spain. instagram.com\/mfamiliaviajera<\/div><\/div><div class=\"single-image\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/seeker.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/shutterstock_90298990-1.jpg)\"><div class=\"image-caption\">Dinosaur footprints in rock.

Some places are off road and you\u2019ll need to park and walk to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you finally track down the footprints, you&#8217;ll also find life-sized dinos that are perfect for photo ops.
