Last summer, I went to Frailes,
Andalucía, to visit my family. I was there fifteen days, but three of them were
special because there was “la Feria”. It was the 31st July, the 1st
and the 2nd August. The purpose of this event is that people have
fun. All the residents and people of neighboring towns came there because it’s
a fun event, where everyone has a great time. Why? Because there were a lot of extraordinary
activities during those three days.
The first day, a cycling tour around the towns near Frailes was prepared, that started in the Ferial, a big place where important events and all the activities during the three days are often celebrated. My cousin and I were two of many cyclists. While cyclists were riding their bikes, some organizers were preparing the activities and the others were putting the merry-go-round, some inflatables beds…
The second day, in the morning, there was a watermelon competition. In this competition, the winner was the person who ate more watermelon during a certain time. It was a really joke, all the spectators laugh. Then, in the afternoon, there were two other competitions. One of them was for children. It was a spinning top competition. Organizers decided to do that because that summer children played a lot with spinning tops. While children were participating in the competition, old people were playing boules. And finally, during all the night, there was a football tournament.
And the third day was the best for me, especially at night. In the morning, the most athletic people formed teams to play a padel match. The afternoon was very scheming, because the mayor announced the name of the winners of each competition. And finally, to finish that event, la Feria, all the people who wanted, dressing Sevillanas and they danced to the rhythm of the music.
Every year, my cousin and I wear a beautiful dotted dress, but last summer we didn’t because she didn’t want to :’(
And this is my best and funniest event, la Feria of Frailes.
