Last night, John and I went to Rota's Feria de Primavera (Spring Festival). It is a 4 day party. There are lines of tents with resteraunts, bars, music, and dancing. Talk about bar-hopping made easy. There are also rows of carnival games and rides. Tons of booths for toys and anything you can imagine covered in sugar. The smell of fried food and cotton candy hit me as soon as I got off the shuttle that took us from the base to the Feria.
John ran into a friend under one of the resteraunt tents. We joined them and had a plate of Iberian ham and cured cheese. That along with 2 drinks and a coke was 64 euro. That is almost $100. Live and learn, right?
After that shock, we walked around, ran into more people, took pictures, watched some dancing, and John tried his hand popping ballons with darts.
Tonight, we are going to the Feria inn Jerez, a larger town. I think I am going to wear my Flamenco dress. It may be a lil cool, but it will be worth it.
Many, many women of all ages were wearing their Flamenco dresses, and so were a lot of little girls. Some little girls could barely fit in their strollers with all the fluff from their skirts! We left after 1 AM and the crowd was still growing, including children. But we were pretty broke after dinner.
