We have passed by Villamartín, a town about 45 kms west of Olvera just off the A384, many times on our way to Cadiz and other places.So today, with the added incentive of going to an agricultural show, we decided to make a visit.
Pictured above is a tiled mosaic at the entrance to the town.
We parked near to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento and walked the short distance to the pretty square.
Anne is very much the reluctant tourist but puts up with my wanderings and diversions - "lets go up here, only a little bit further, whats round this corner". Bless her.
Returning to the car, we came across this little fellow who startled Anne a bit by jumping into her path.
After only a short time and not really doing the town justice, we returned to the car and headed for the Agricultural show.
The showground on the outskirts of town was very busy with many exhibits of horses, bulls, cows, goats and sheep.
In the showring were being shown what we presumed to be the best foals in show.
The greyhound racing was very popular with quite a big crowd assembled.
After each race the rabbit lure was taken back to the start line by a motorcyclist and when signalled by a white flag at the far end of the course the rabbit would be wound in by this bicycle wheel for the greyhounds to chase.
Did I win dad ??
No doubt coming alive at night, we walked into the Caseta and Fair area next to the showground which at 2pm was fairly quiet.
As I said previously, we didn't really do the town justice on this visit as I am sure there is much more to see. We will definately return at a later date to see more.
