Hi - Unfortunately the details on the Albox info website appear to refer to the 2011 Fiesta, according to the timetable they have attached, so I would be grateful if anyone can confirm this year's dates.   :tiphat:

No problem Doreen - it was a good site to know about anyway - so thanks for that.   Now all we need is a timetable.   Visiting grandchildren are going to be thrilled !

Hi All,
The Albox Feria takes place at the end of October/Beginning November centred around All Saints Day (2nd November). I will publish the calendar of events on my blog in English as soon as I have it which should be some time this coming week.

I have highlighted the word FERIA because I get told off if I use the word Fiesta to describe it. Ferias, apparently, are fairs or celebrations  for no particular reason whilst the reason for a Fiesta is usually a saints day or a constitutional event (Andalucia Day).

Regards,

Maura Hillen

Councillor, Albox Town Hall

Hi Maura  - Thank you for the promise of information, but I have never knowingly 'blogged' anyone.  ???  Would you mind putting the timetable on this forum please for us old Luddites to see?   It would be greatly appreciated.   :tiphat:

Hi Annef,
I already post to this forum http://www.arboleas.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=194.0 (http://www.arboleas.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=194.0)

What I donĀ“t do is search for random questions relating to Albox on the various forums.
