Feria de Alvarez

Last week the feria of Villa de Alvarez started. It is bigger than the normal Colima feria and there are rodeo and bullfights.

In the evenings there is a parade where the real men (you can tell from the beer and the cigarette in one of their hands) ride on horses through the center of Colima to the feria.

Apart from the rodeo there are loads of food, DVD and trash sellers. Basically the same as in any other feria in any other place just with mexican stuff and copied DVDs.

Shortly before leaving I found this bit of information:
