Wow, what a scorcher it was on Saturday. Arriving in Jerez in spring time you are greeted by a beautiful display of purple flowering plum trees on all the streets made a good start to the day
Jerez Spring Horse Festival is a week long feria, which dates back hundreds of years. It is an important event in the equestrian and social calendar. One gets the distnct impression it is definatley the place to be seen. Everywhere you look it is a photo opportunity, a real display for the senses, with the lights, the beautifully decorated casetas (marquees), the stunning flamenco dresses, and hundreds of horses and carriages parading along the central paths. We couldn´t resist the temptation to take a ride in one of the carriages, and it was great to get to see just how large it is! Streets of casetas, each with their different themes, each servin food or drinks and at night with different live shows of flamenco
In the afternoon we found a caseta which was lots of fun, with lots of Sevillnas dancing going on, and there were some hosts who encouraged us all to get on the dance floor. Some of us stayed late into the night and the feria was still going strong. At night the lights are a sight to behold.
It is nice blog thanks for sharing it. it is very useful blog. I would like to read more in future.
