30.5.13 Sanlucar Races Poster; Wine Display in El Puerto Tourist Office

At an event held at the bodegas of Hidalgo La Gitana to coincide with the start of the Feria de la Manzanilla, the official poster, painted by Reyes de la Lastra, was presented for the 168th Sanlucar Race Season. As yet the programme has not been finalised by the Sociedad de Carreras de Caballos de Sanlucar. The races will take place, as usual, on the beach on the 2,3,4 August, and the 16,17,18 August, an unmissable event. Javier Hidalgo himself is a veteran of a good many races.



The Puerto de Santa Maria council Tourism and promotions department has inaugurated a new initiative to inform and promote the wines of El Puerto and its entire viti-vinicultural patrimony. It takes the form of an exhibition of the wines in the Palacio de Aranibar, handy for all tourists visiting the tourist office. There are two display cases containing some 60 products including wines, spirits and vinegars, along with explanatory notes on their production and producers. Excellent idea.
