Los Caballos del Vino Caravaca
The Wine Horses of Caravaca
Monday 2nd May 2011
The people of Caravaca de la Cruz celebrate the Festival of the Holy Cross at the beginning of May with the town's famous race of the "wine horses" (caballos de vino). Riderless horses, wearing beautifully embroidered coats, race from the bottom of the town up to the castle
The celebration dates back to around 1250, when templar knights raced across territory ruled by the Moors to bring wine to those that guarded the relic of the True Cross (Vera Cruz), kept there since 1231. The animals are led by a porter on each side, who must run as fast as their legs can carry them. People line the route and cheer on the competitors.
 
 
PRICE PER PERSON: 21 €
 
This trip includes coach from Puerto de Mazarrón and Camposol to Caravaca to see the famous "wine horse" fiesta.
BOOK ON 968.199.021

Hi Scapa,

Unfortunatly I don´t work at Dragontours anymore, I was made redundant in March 2009. I´m now involved in the heady world (!) of insurance, but i still stay in touch with Eileen the owner of Dragontours. She has a facebook page with all her trips, alternativly email her on eileen@dragontours.net.

Back to no claim bonus & the like :^(

Kathy
