The annual Horse Fair in Sanlucar will take place on the 28th
February, on Andalucia Day. The festivities begin at 11.00 when all the riders
gather on the esplanade at the fairground. At 12.00 they will ride through the
central streets and back to the fairground, where, at 14.15 there will be an
exhibition of horsemanship. The proceedings will close at 19.00. In line with
legal requirements, the local police and Civil Protection will be on hand, as
well as a vet. This promises to be a great day.
Later in the year, the annual horse races will take place on
the beach in two rounds; on the 7,8,9th of August and also on the
21,22,23rd. The dates are
carefully chosen to coincide with suitable tides, so that the purebred horses
will have room to compete. Meanwhile, sponsors are being sought. This year will
be the 169th year of the races, which have been declared as a
festival of international tourist interest.
