REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA / Calarasi / Palanca / January 2016 / Malanca in Palanca / The last night of the year in Palanca is clear and cold. Darkness in the village is almost absolute as few ligths a lit late in the day. People though stay awake during the night because they expect the Malanca to visit them and they keep ready with drinks and food to welcome them properly. В© Chiara Dazi / Anzenberger
