Feria y Fiestas de San Antonio
So, to the untrained eye, this might look a little twee... a fairground and candy-floss and pretty lights and people all over the place in flamenco costumes. However, the flamenco dresses aren't a joke! These Spanish folk are wearing the costumes with pride, to show off their best for the Feria y Fiestas de San Antonio, an annual event in Chiclana that lasts for a week and gets everyone putting on a show... There are prizes for the best dressed misses, best-dressed older people, best horse-riding skills, best entertainment tents, as well as displays of flamenco from various schools - showing off not only the adult dancers, but also the girls having a twirl and a stamp!
