Last weekend, over two glorious sunny days and one wet one, Alcalá hosted the fourth
Feria del Mundo Rural y la Caza with a range of activities, exhibitions and retail opportunities celebrating rural crafts and traditions. Here are some of them - sadly I didn't get a decent photo of the catapulting competition and the mule-loading demonstration scheduled for Sunday morning was rained off, but there will be another opportunity no doubt.
