Well I have been seriously sacking on keeping up with this blog. Between two toddlers, a home business, and the craziness of life itself… it unfortunately has been low on my to do list. So now it’s time to play catch up and post what I can remember from this last year.

 

Since it’s now time for Feria again this year, here is our experience last year at our first round of Feria in Spain!

 

Feria is exactly what its translation into English means “Fair”. It is a huge celebration celebrated for a days to a weeks time in several towns throughout southern Spain. It began in 1847 that originally started as a livestock fair due to an agreed upon proposal granted by Queen Isabel II. By the 1920’s, it had become the spectacle that it is today. When you walk into Feria you are surrounded by casetas, loud music, women of all ages in their flamenco dresses, and beautiful horses. Rebujito is the special feria drink that can sneak up on you… I recommend two at max lol. There is tons of food, games and rides for the kids, and just an amazing atmosphere and vibe throughout the entire thing.

Our first year here, I took the kids along with some of our friends, to Feria in Rota. Jayson was working, but it was half price rides for the kids so of course us moms were in! The kids played, danced, and we all had a great time!

 

A few days later, we went to Feria in El Puerto as a family. Lyla and I both wore our pretty flamenco dresses, we ate tons of food, admired the beautiful horses, and just soaked in every second of this lively occasion. It was such a good time and we are definitely looking forward to enjoying year number two at Feria this month!
