Las Ferias
One of the things I truly love about the summer in Spain is the "ferias". The ferias appear at most of the towns and cities during the summer months and are simply fantastic, both for kids and parents alike.
On Thursday night (yes, it's taken me a bit of time to get round to writing about it!) we made our way to the feria in Estepona. We didn't get there until 10:30 in the evening with our twin four-year-olds. You see things don't really start to kick off until that time. The feria in Estepona is particularly big but it's big enough. There are plenty of rides for the kids (at 2.50 Euros per ride...per child) and even braved it myslef to go on a new death-defying ride (it was excellent but a bit sickly!).
However, the main thing about the ferias is the atmosphere. It's buzzing and as the evenings are hot it's a great place to spend an evening. You can buy churros with chocolate but we went for the "buñuelos" with chocolate which are wonderful mini donoughts....you have to try them.
Normally there is someone selling barbecued octopus too (you have GOT to try this) but he wasn't there when we went, which was a shame.
Anway, we had a great time and left the feria at around 2 in the morning...and there were still people arriving.
So when you're over this summer check out where the ferias are and make sure you go to at least one, it will really be worth your while.
