Back in May I went to Córdoba for the fair. Since I had taken dance lessons and bought a dress I had to take full advantage to wear it again. It was my last little trip with friends before we started to part ways.
May is a busy month for this town. There are different festivals and the houses and alleyways are famously decorated with flower pots.
Two friends with whom work in the same town as me decided to join me for the occasion.
Luckily there was still one room left in town... The hotels and hostels fill up months in advance. We stayed in a cute little hostel on the river and very close to just about everything.
We had all been here before and so we decided not to hit up most of the touristy spots but rather walk around and just enjoy our time.
This is said to be the city with the prettiest women in Spain.
This little alley with a restaurant was just to cute and quaint!
I took my friends to my most favorite bar in town to have the most delicious pork in a cream and sweet wine sauce. It was better than I even remembered! I miss the food, wine, and people so much!
It may be hard to see this picture unless you were to zoom in but I thought it was a great piece of street art.
We didn't go to the fair the first night but we did watch the lighting ceremony which is the inauguration of the fair. After lunch we got ready and headed down to the fairgrounds.
Although the fair in Sevilla is larger and more famous, each has its own greatness.

I just had to take this picture of this group of women all dressed the same.
How cute is this matching mother daughter pair?
I swore I was not going to wear this huge ridiculous flower on my head but the ladies convinced me that it was the Spanish way and I had to try it.
I only lasted one ride. This was the craziest ferris wheel ever! Seriously! I have a sensitive stomach and one was plenty.
The ferris wheel had great views though!
We didn't stay out until sunrise like I did at the last fair but we sure did dance the night away.
Well this is just about the end of my Spanish and European adventures for this chapter. I will be saying see you later in my next post which will round out these past two exciting and wonderful years! I hope you have enjoyed following along with me... although I have been a little late on these posts recently.
