What a lovely surprise to see Ishay again after… 9 years! Last time we were together was in London as part of a Foodie Hub global meet up. Ishay got in touch while I was in Jerez to say she’d be in town for a couple of days with her friend Tuanni and so last night they joined me on a tapas tour with a lovely couple from Australia. We had a great time and it was lovely to her again and catch up. Our last meal together (below) at Kitty Fisher’s in London.

You may recall that last year Corpus Christi got rained out (for the first time ever) so this year I was keen to haul myself out of bed at ridiculous o’clock to walk the procession route before it started. BUT… I had a tapas tour booked this evening and I realised that I’d be lucky to get to sleep before 2 am (always need to wind down afterwards) and so on my way home I walked a part of the route and took a few pics. The altars still weren’t totally set up but the shop windows and balconies had their displays up. And I caught a virgin making her way through the arches on her way to the Cathedral. And that’ll be it for me, I’m afraid. Still, something new as I’ve never seen the route at almost midnight. Pics below…

So nah, won’t be going to Feria. I usually like going at least one afternoon to take photos of the horses and the colourful dresses but as one horse has already died from the heat I think it’s not something I want to be a part of. Also there are apparently record crowds this year – yet another local celebration over run and ruined by mass tourism. No thanks.
