Rainy San Pedro Fair
Most of you are probably aware that here in the South of Spain the Spanish love their "ferias" (fairs). Most of the main towns hold them every year and to be honest their great fun, for both kids and adults.
Most of the ferias are held in the summer months so you´re pretty much guaranteed decent whether even at night to enjoy them. But one town on the Costa del Sol has always held it´s feria in the middle of October, San Pedro de Alcantara. San Pedro is the town just before Marbella whetravelingng in the Malaga direction.
The interesting thing with the San Pedro fair is that you are guaranteed one thing.....rain! Every year when the San Pedro feria is on it rains for the entire week. It has for the previous 2 years and also this year. The feria was this week and we´ve had an appalling week in terms of rain.
But any mention of changing the date of the feria to maybe a week before or after the usual "rainy" week is dismissed by any San Pedro resident. We´ve yet to check out the San Pedro feria...maybe next year it won´t be so wet...but I bet you anything it will be....50 Euros anyone?
