The sheer volume of horses and buggies in town must mean that there are a large number of horses at the fair. To be sure, there were more horses there than we had expected. At the far end of the fair, furthest away from the sea, we found an entire stable's worth of horses. These was a series of bars and restaurants that stretched out for four blocks and the horses and their riders were lined up outside the bars having a drink and socializing. Everyonce and a while a group of to to six riders would break off, ride down the middle of the street and stop at the next bar. Pedestrians needed to be on their toes as these horses could be skittish and were very large creatures. We had to step back more than once to let a buggy or a horse pass us by. What a great experience!
A worker cleaning up outside our balcony
Lots of trash from a man who slept here
We walked along the beach
Such a delightful day
Just follow the buggies to find the fair
A smattering of mules
Side saddle is still a thing
Every public building can be beautiful
Minions!
Make way!
Turning just in time
These folks probably drove the buggy from their farmstead over to the fair
So smarthly dressed
Yes, time for a picture
Spanish pride
Rows and rows of horses with a gal sidesaddle on the back of the horse
You can see the horses sharing the road with the pedestrians
The dresses are also top notch
Dress up the mules
Time to sit in the saddle annd have a drink
15 in a row
Very serious expressions
Layers of fancy
Multi generational
A nice brown outfit
The next bar also has a line of riders
Mostly men but not all of them
This rider had to stand for a while
A great buggy
A couple all dressed up
The level of ruffles has really taken off
As we get further down the road, the riders get mmore animated
The guitar in the center of the intersection
A unique outfit
The guitar and the buggy
Fully pressed
I wonder how old the buggies are
Orange and pink!
The contrasts were amusing
Pedestrians be aware
Catching up with the girls
The rider in the cennter is a woman in the traditional male costume
Oh my, grilled meats anyone?
This vendor is going to have to answer some questions
