With our friends Dan and Alison, we left early this morning heading to Ronda for a procession and display of horse and carriages, part of the Fiesta's Goyescas de Pedro Romero...the Feria of Ronda named after a famous 18th century bullfighter.
Arriving just before 9 am, we parked the car in the underground car park and walked down the Carrera de Espinel towards the Bullring.
After stopping for coffee and churros, we continued on to the Calle Virgen de la Paz where the horse and carriages were gathering.Some of the "Damas Goyesca" (Ladies of the Goyesca), a feature of the Feria, dressed in their stunning Mantilla veils.
The magnificent display of horses, carriages and accompanying drivers and handlers, all dressed in traditional costumes and finery lined the street.
Some of the decorative headwear called "cascabeles" (bells) on the horses.
At about 11.15, we joined the queue for the second part of the event, a procession and display of carriage driving inside the Bullring (see next post).
