Thanks to TioJimeno we have the programme for the Feria de Mayo 2008 (May 9, 10 & 11), which looks very much like last year’s. Despite announcements to the contrary, there is no bullfight, not even on horses. However, there is a ‘horse show’ though it doesn’t say what exactly that entails (Prospero guesses it’ll be horses and flamenco dancers coughing in the dust). To see the whole programme (roughly translated)
