fiesta de los caballos


We hit the local fiesta in the next town over
today, I was so excited to get out!
It is a massive celebration of the wars between the Christians and the Moors. All the horses are in competition for the most ornate, they are all hand stiched with gold thread, beautiful, and there is also a race where they run next to the horses up a pretty steep incline, on tight cobblestone roads, all the way to the local castle at the top of the hill. Very exciting!

Here we see grandpa buying some essentials, churros, and enjoying them with the kids.
