Feria begins today with all the carriages entering the Plaza de Toros. Pepa took her grandsons inside to see. I stood in the street and followed the carriages making the circuit before entering. The horses were just as stunning as the people. Some of them so beautiful they made me emotional. I am not used to seeing horses this spirited. So typical, Andalucian: proud people with impassive faces and horses prancing, just barely under control.
Can't quite believe this exists. It is part of their normal yearly routine. Nothing is fake (well, some plastic bead jewelry perhaps). All these carriages are unbelievable. This must be the most fascinating city in the western world.
