Feria
Feria means fair, but unless you've been to a Feria in Southern Spain, you'll never know what it really means. This was written around the time of our last Feria de Mayo, in Alhaurin El Grande, before we left a year later. I've posted it for a bit of warmth on a grey winter's day. No copyright issues with the image of the poster. We were encouraged to share the new Feria Poster every year.
