Wow, this was written already almost 8 years ago – that’s crazy! I’m going to go ahead and wager that it is continuing to thrive and has turned into an annual event. I’ve heard a lot of these fairs take place every year in Spain, so I’m wondering how each of them differs from the others, and what special attractions each one provides.
