AS I MENTIONED yesterday, this week is Fuengirola's festival (Feria del Rosario) in honor of the Virgin of the Rosary, and yesterday was the procession of the Virgin, which I attended. There are a lot of photos today (14), so I'll let you get right to them.
COMO MENCIONÉ AYER, esta semana es una feria de Fuengirola en honor de la Virgen del Rosario, y ayer fue la procesión de la Virgen, a la que asistí. Hay muchas fotos hoy (14), así que les dejaré llegar directamente a ellas.

So many beautiful dresses! And I always like to see the Divine Feminine honoured, even if those doing so don't characterize it that way.
ReplyDeleteDebra,
DeleteI love the incredible fashion but love even more seeing the rebellious women in traditional costume that’s not traditional for women!
Of course, I love the dresses....might have even had a few of them!!!! Now that's a fun looking festival.

DeleteThe fashion is stunning. Many women spend a fortune on their custom dresses every year and wouldn’t be seen twice in the same dress... or anything that was so last year.
Looks like you got a good spot!
ReplyDeleteOn a ledge in front of the church. A bit tippy but above everyone’s heads.
DeleteIs the science festival next week?
ReplyDeleteAdam
DeleteHa! By that, do you mean the “reality” festival?
gorgeous clothes; I could see maddie wearing some of those dresses.
ReplyDeleteAnne Marie
DeleteWow. And he’d wear them even better.
Fabulous drag! And not a one-legged short or mismatched pattern in the bunch!
ReplyDeleteBob,
DeleteThe patterns yes but no shorts!
Just how many virgins are there in Spain? One wonders.

DeleteAnd they’re all named Mary!
At first, I always assumed that the women in these fancy costume dresses were wearing them because they were dancing later (or earlier). But, now I'm wondering if I've misunderstood... do women just all have these dresses just to wear to these festivals!??
ReplyDeleteJudy,
DeleteDancing is definitely not a requirement. But the most stylish women do have many dresses. Some wouldn’t be caught wearing the same one twice. Many will not wear last year’s styles. And it’s common to have old dresses redone to look different and accommodate the latest fashion trends.
Love the flouncy dresses. Such style.
ReplyDeleteWilma,
DeleteI love the style and never tire of seeing them all over town during th se events.
I like those Spanish dresses.
ReplyDeleteKirk,
DeleteAnd there so much to them. What’s in this year? How to update last year’s dresses. What an investment.
