Last week in Sevilla they put on something called La Feria where all the women dress in Flamenco dresses, ride on horses, or in horse drawn carriages, and put on quite a show. They gather in Caeitas to eat, drink, and dance. We spent an entire afternoon there taking in the sights, sounds, and smells! WOW is all I can say!
This is how they arrived to La Feria. By single horse or by horse and buggy.
This was at the entrance to La Feria. There must have been over 1000 horses there! We were told that the horses had to be out of the fairgrounds by 7:00 PM or get ticketed. It became too dangerous with all the people, darkness, and drinking!
I called this the Yellow Carriage! 5 women decked out in yellow Flamenco dresses! Notice the "double cheek" kiss! A very common thing here in Spain. That awkward moment when you get the "double cheek kiss...It is a thing here! It has only happened to me once, but VERY awkward!

It was very warm that day and we had to dress up. We were invited to Tobi's Spanish teacher's Casita for food and drinks, but he was not around when we arrived. Bummer! GREAT day all and all!
