All the fun of the feria!

This weekend has been fair-time in Valderrobres, or a feria as it is called here. The main road to Monroyo had been closed off and by-passed and there were stalls lining each side.


It is more or less the same every year and even the stalls are in the same positions as they were last year. You can buy just about anything. There certainly is no excuse for anyone in the vicinity of Valderrobres to have a sock with a hole in it or a blunt kitchen knife - there's plenty for sale here.



A favourite area of the fair has to be where the animals are on show and there were some good looking bulls, horses, sheep, goats and a pig on show.


Although most of the animals were trying to work out what was going on and tended to be rather unsettled these goats were perfectly contented as their cabrero was sitting with his wife outside their pen.


The weather has been good and people had turned out in their thousands.



Outside the animal marquee, there were some chickens going cheap. (cheep).
