On the red hot fiesta weekend in illora many highly skilled horse riders and beautiful horses were in action, demonstrating differing riding styles from across the regions of Spain and Portugal.         Along with the entertainment from the traditional Spanish dancers the true andalucian carnival atmosphere was enhanced with numurous stalls and street bars and eating areas. A real must for somebody after a bargain with the illora ferria being the main center for annual horse sales in the local area.
