Feria de Caballos, Jerez - Podcast 59
by Ben Curtis
The image above perfectly sums up the horse fair in Jerez: proud men on beautiful horses, huge barrels of Fino wine, and attractive Andalusian women in wild Sevillanas dresses…
Listen to the podcast, see all the photos in Flickr and check out the short video below…
The Feria de Caballos in Jerez (map) takes place every year at the beginning of May. We found details of exact dates at Andalucia.org
. You can also see a Spanish video blog from the event here.

Great pictures! It’s nice to see how people of all ages, sizes and social classes put in an effort to dress up and to look beautiful for the fiesta. I can appreciate this kind of cultural pride because it’s so sincere - these Andalucians are simply having a good time in a very Andalucian way!

[…] Yesterday was regional elections day here in Spain. The general opinion is that it was a bit of a draw between the big guys, the PP and the ruling PSOE.
