You got the life, as usual, with high quality. I'd like to be able to do so!
Just two comments. I missed horses the other big protagonist of the Feria de
Abril. And, it's a constant in my thoughts, this event needs, if not always,
sometimes,some color as the color has a uncredible richness  in La Feria.
And, Natham, mind the alcohol as manzanilla, extraordinari white wine does
seem not to affect you until the moment you are on the floor!
