Photographer's Note
Hello friends and colleagues, today I offer a view of a booth of the fair of my city, it is a place where people gather to drink and eat typical food of Jerez, also dancing the unique dance called Sevillana. Here are some letters about the fair in my city. I hope you like it.
The Horse Fair is a fair held every May in Jerez de la Frontera (Andalusia, Spain).
Declared of International Tourist Interest by the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and Commerce, it is, together with Holy Week, one of the largest and most important festivities of the city.
Origins:
It arose from equine trade in the Middle Ages, in which farmers gathered to close deals.
A document dated September 13, 1481 already specified the location of the origins of the fair: from Puerta del Real to Calle Francos, including Plaza de la Yerba.
The current fair is born from the union of the cattle fair of Dehesa de Caulina and the leisure fair open to the public in 1903.
For many years of the twentieth century was one of the two fairs that were held in Jerez next to the Harvest Fair in September, which are currently held in another format.
Current fair:
The Horse Fair is held a week after the April Fair in Seville (which in turn is held depending on the Holy Week) and before the Romería del Rocío. During the festivities and during the week, (the fair usually lasts seven days, although the last few years have lasted nine to incorporate the previous weekend) horses parade with their riders who, as in the past, are still selling. During the whole week, only during the day, there is a great parade of horse cars through the central streets.
The Fair is currently held in Parque González Hontoria, a park that combines large areas of albero with landscaped areas. The main gate of the park is used as the cover of the Fair.
Data:
The Fair currently has more than 250 booths, each with its particular atmosphere and gastronomic specialties
Most of the booths compete in the contests of best cover and best decoration.
The typical drinks of the Jerez fair are the oloroso and the fine wine, that the less purists like to mix the latter with lime sodas, a combination known as rebujito.
The most usual day dress at Feria is the short dress, if it is mounted on horseback, and gypsy costume (or flamenco dress) for women, and half-tailored during the night.
The gastronomy is very varied, but focusing on the fried fish and typical stews, such as bull tail, tagarninas esparragás, menudo, cabbage Jerezana and of course the best seafood and cold meats.
The booths are all different, and are usually made of material (not curtains, as in other fairs around). Its management is entrusted to groups of the city (companies, brotherhoods, associations, etc.), which use it for financing either through direct exploitation or by transferring it to a professional.
Peculiarities:
After the mayor Pedro Pacheco's ban on the existence of the Fair of private booths in the Real, the mythical Gonzalez Byass booth was demolished and the rest of the booths have become public, facilitating fun for all people who are not of the area.
Design competition Unlike most fairs, which maintain a uniform design of all their booths, the Horse Fair allows each booth to have a different design. What's more, the city council holds several booth contests in each edition: better company booth, better association booth, better corner booth (due to the difficulty of decorating two sides), etc.
Retirement Day. In the last editions, Monday has been reserved as a retired day and discounts are made on the attractions so that the elderly can take their grandchildren to them. Likewise, the attractions cost half on Monday. In addition, Wednesday has been reserved as a day for women.
Gay-Friendly Fair. Due to its open and popular character, the Horse Fair was one of the first fairs in Andalusia to have an explicitly LGBT booth.

Hello Angel,
It looks like a very inviting and appealing place to sit down, relax and have a drink and some good food. I like the narrow frame and the colours are rich and well-saturated. Excellent photo work!

Hola, Angel!
Me parece un lugar bien agradable para tomarse unas copas y probar una sabrosa comida española, quizá una buena paella! Me gusta la arquitectura y la calidad con la que la captaste, con excelente iluminación y colores! Lindo trabajo!

Hi Angel
there's something about this place i like, perhaps its the Colonial style or the colour combinations of it, but I know it looks good here. warm light and brightness, just too bad there aren't any people in the shot to make it more lively.
lovely place though. cheers

Beautiful sunny picture of this attractive place to drink and eat something after the horse fair. I suppose everybody was still at the fair at the moment you took this picture.
Well done. Have a nice week. Groet Rob

Hello Angel,
The yellow soil assures me that you took this picture on the grounds of the Horse Fair.
I do know Tio Pepe but here's also a Tio Jose.
A beautiful building, especially the upper floor, well presented in an almost symmetrical picture.
Best regards, Paul

Hola Angel,
This is a lovely, crisp photograph and perfectly cropped for a symmetrical format.
The abundance of greenery and the colour of the sunshade add extra warmth to the scene.
It's a pity there are no customers to add vitality to this most appealing location but, maybe you were there too early for that!
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Angel,
Effective tight framing and cropping with good symmetrical perspective. I like the repetition of the wood stained chairs out the front & the open air white gate. Tfs!

Hello Angel.
A delightful charming photo. The full frontal symmetrical view works well in this case. The tight crop is also successful in bringing the focus on to the architectural features. Good not too!

Hola amigo Angel.
Esta no me parece a mi la tipica caseta al uso, sino una casa bien construida y con estilo, al menos el piso bajo lo veo asi, el primero si me parece ya mas un decorado, pero quedo en duda.
Magnífico color, lo cual da mucha fuerza a la imagen.
Muy buena la luminosidad y perfecta nitidez.
Buen trabajo. Me gusta mucho.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Hola, amigo Ángel,
bonita caseta de la Feria de Jerez, en la que podemos disfrutar de una tranquilidad que por la noche desaparece absolutamente, y se convierte en un lugar alegre, ruidoso y festivo, donde la gente se lo pasa muy bien.
Pero esta escena llena de calma es agradable, me gusta la riqueza gráfica y cromática, así como la luminosidad de la toma. Me puedo imaginar el lugar lleno de gente bailando sevillanas y tomando copitas de buen jerez.
Bello trabajo.
Os deseamos una muy Feliz Navidad de parte de vuestros amigos de Barcelona,
Pili y Josep

Hi Angel
It's a crisp clean shot depicting the typical local architecture & screaming colours of the facade adorned by atop natural green. A stand out shot on a bright day, shade & shadow help to boost the visual effect superbly. Wonderful shot, Congrats
Best regards
