One Country I Visit Every Year, From Man Who’s Been to 140 Countries

Virtually each city, metropolis, and village in Spain has an annual feria (competition), and my favourite is undoubtedly La Feria del Caballo (The Horse Truthful) in Jerez de la Frontera.

Held each Could on the González Hontoria fairground, the competition options loads of meals, drinks, dancing, and a program of equestrian occasions.

It is lovely in the course of the day, however at night time, the grounds are lit up in a spectacular means that makes every part look magical.

One other competition I get pleasure from attending is Las Fallas, held yearly in March in Valencia. A whole lot of wood and papier-mâché monuments referred to as fallas are constructed across the metropolis, after which, to conclude the competition, they’re burned.

These constructions usually painting native and world dignitaries or critique present occasions, creating a mix of artwork, satire, and custom that is actually price watching.
