Tonight was the first night of the Feria so at 11.15 pm we waited in the queue with about a dozen others to catch the "Tren Turístico" to take us down to the Recinto Ferial (fairground).
For the first time, the Feria was taking place on a dedicated site on the edge of town so we were interested to see if the atmosphere would be the same as in previous years when it was on the streets.
After a twenty minute ride, the train dropped us right outside the fairground which was buzzing with people and music from the fifty or so Casetas, mainly private marquees that lined the main route into the fair.We stopped off at one of the four public casetas for a drink and to watch what was going on.
Walking around, we met up with many of our friends, some of whom were adorned in beautiful, traditional dresses.
The Caseta Municipal, the main venue for concerts and dances.
The main fairground was very busy with many of the usual attractions.
We strolled around for a couple of hours, taking in the sights and sounds, before heading back on the "Tren" to home.
The Feria goes on until Monday night, culminating in a fireworks display at about three in the morning. We'll pop back again then.
