The marco de Jerez has seen a massive influx of
motorcyclists over the last few days in preparation for today’s Jerez Moto GP, with
Jorge Lorenzo of Spain in pole position. He is a very happy man, as they have
named one of the circuit’s corners after him. The circuit, which is laid out in
the shape of a porron (a jug for drinking directly into the mouth) saw its first racing in 1985, and is now an important
venue for cars as well as motorcycles. One of the founders was Enrique Ysasi
Ivison, from a long standing Sherry family.
This weekend also sees the start of the Feria del Caballo,
which runs till Friday. There will be many events such as a parade of horses
and carriages; horse tests; Golden Horse award; equestrian displays; racing,
and much more. The city really comes to life, with a great feria atmosphere.
