SUNDAY 30th/ JULY 2017. “ FERIA DE SANTA ANA “
Well we needed a good lie in this morning
after last night’s festivities in the village, the music didn’t finish until
6-00 am this morning, by the time Brenda took ‘ Chico ‘ for his first walk of
the day the streets had been cleaned by the Council workmen and the water wagon
was washing down everywhere, our local lady street cleaner always give our
street a special going over, I then thank her!
After our breakfast of ‘Weetabix’ fresh
fruit, toast & tea we sorted ourselves out for the day ahead; we are taking
things easy, catching up with the chores around the house, at lunchtime we will
take ‘ Chico ‘ out for his next walk before he’s collected later in the
afternoon, we will miss him as he’s great company and a real character, he’s
back in early September for a short sleep-over, of course ‘ Chispa’ will call
in to see us and him!
This morning it’s already very hot &
sunny, there is no breeze so by lunchtime when the ‘Feria’ kicks off at 2-00 pm
it will be 36 degs+ - Next week we are in for another ‘ hot one’ with the
temperatures hovering in the mid/high 30s, watch this space.
This afternoon Mario, the Mayor, with his wife Anna, Mario Jnr & Pablo called in with a little' thank you' for our help with Mario's English speaking, he passed the exam with flying colours, next it will be Pablo's turn to improve his English, watch this space.

Before we hit the streets, again’ we are
going to have our supper of ‘ Scouse’ - to
fortify us for the night ahead!!
We are then going out this evening to see
the ‘Planet 80’ performing classic pop hits from the “ Golden Age of Pop “ – we
are going to try, if it’s not too hot, to walk down to the large fairground
down by the sports complex to check it out. Then at around 11-00 pm we are
going to watch the fire work display from the terrace above the ‘ Plaza de la
Vendimia’
Last night we went along to ‘ Bar Castillo’
and found a nice table in the shade, we then had our cool drinks served in
glasses, at the locals price, thanks Juan!
The ‘Feria Queens’ Parade then came along
with the floats, led by the ‘ Chichipom ‘ Band, followed by an ‘ Andalusian Horse
Parade ‘ ( including a ‘ Burro’!) – not forgetting the
Council cleaning wagons to tidy up the confetti and other mess left by the
horses!
We then watched the start of the ‘ School
of Flamenco ‘ Dance Show, in the first of the young performers on the right, in Pink, is
our neighbours granddaughter, Alba, that we have known since she was a baby! We
then came back to the house for a late supper of ‘Cold Ham with the Russian
Salad’ The two bands then kicked off, they finished at 6-00 am!!
See all the pictures above;
