Hello,

I am trying to find out when the 10 day Feria del Ganado happens in Santiago? I think it is in May sometime but wondered what the actual dates were.

Thank you in advance.

And for a moment there I believed it when someone told me they thought that I knew everything, except "bed bugs." Now here's something else am just learning about (+ much much more to come, mehopes). How interesting. Thank u Peter.

Tienen su origen en el secular carácter agrario y religioso de la cuidad. En los mercados de la Edad Media, a los que los labradores de la comarca llevaban su ganado para comprar y vender. Sin embargo, hoy en día todo ha cambiado y, aunque se mantiene la tradicional feria caballar de los jueves de la Ascensión, la fiesta se ha convertido en una cita de ocio y descanso ineludible para vecinos, estudiantes y turistas.

Hello Peter,

Thank you very much for your swift reply. I couldn't find it on the Turismo website when I looked.

Have a good Feria.

Best wishes
