Welcome to our Romerio of San Antonio. This particular Fiesta is peculiar to the area of Rabatilla where we live and goes on for 3 days. A great deal of dancing, singing and horsemanship and drinking takes place and everyone has a ball.

If you visit this site you can learn more of the history and local events which take place here and in other areas.

Here goes with the photos, hope you like, it was a very hot day, but the horses were well looked after and regularly watered and cooled down.

Okay, too late for this fiesta, but there is another in 2 weeks. The Fiesta of San Juan. takes place on the beachwhere everyone lights a fire. we have 7 Kms of beach and you can see all the fires all along the coast. At 12 o´clock you jump over the dieing embers and run into the sea to cleanse yourself for the coming year......
