Clitoris festival

Google Translate error sees Spanish town advertise clitoris festival

Local officials in As Pontes – population 11,000 – had written the announcement for the annual festival in Galician, one of the official languages of the northern Spanish region. They used Google Translate for the Spanish-language version of the text.

It meant the town’s “Feria do grelo” or rapini festival – held every February with tastings and awards for the best grelos – became “Feria clitoris” in Spanish.

The translated announcement read: “The clitoris is one of the typical products of Galician cuisine. Since 1981 ... the festival has made the clitoris one of the star products of its local gastronomy.”

I wanted to go to the clitoris festival but my wife told me not to bother as I would only get lost.  She tells me I haven't been able to find it for the last 40 years so why should I find it now.
