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.
