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!

Just curious: what exactly is a pingback, and what is its purpose?

It let’s blog owners know when people have linked to one of their stories/posts. In this case I linked to my own post from the regional elections one, and it left a message in the comments here to tell me so – a pingback.
