Jerez: Feria del Caballos "Dancing Horses" Schedule
 
Hello everyone,

Thank you everyone so much for answering my other questions. After searching the internet for an answer all morning/afternoon with no success, I am turning to this forum. Does anyone know where I would get the upcoming May's Jerez Horse Fair schedule for the Andalucian Dancing Horses performance (other than their usual Thursday noon show). I read somewhere that they come out on the street and perform during the festival. But I can't find the info anywhere, when and where. The webjerez site just crashes whenever I tried to load it on my computer for some reason. Thank you!!

hi lonmermaid, i took the following from the webjerez site...
_________________________________________
Del 10 al 16 de mayo Paseo de Jinetes y Enganches

El Paseo de Caballos es una de las tradiciones más características de la Feria de Jerez. Cada día, desde las 13,00 hasta las 19,30 horas, centenares de jinetes y amazonas, junto a enganches de todos los estilos, recorren las calles del Real en una inigualable composición de elegancia, plante y majestuosidad, que despierta la admiración de todo el que lo contempla.
_________________________________________

it basically says that from the 10-16 may, between the hours of 1:00 and 7:30pm, hundreds of jockeys and carriages ride through the streets.

i am pretty sure you could not miss it even if you tried ;)

hope this helps.

saludos,
jer...

Thanks Jer.

I wonder why that website wouldn't load on my computer. I wanted to go see the Andalucian Horsese Dance but their show is all sold out because of the fair, it turns out. Really too bad. Maybe we will go to see the street parade anyway. Thanks for your info!!

hi bashful, the website is www.webjerez.com and is the official jerez town hall site but for andalucia in general, there are other sites such as www.andalucia.org .
