The Feria de Stock, which was held in Majuelo Park this weekend past, was due to last both days but heavy rain forecast for Sunday meant it was cut short.

The Almuñécar business associations, Comercio Sexitano and Vivo, and the Town Hall had no other option but to cancel Sunday and it was a good job that they did because it poured down.

The organisers of the event expressed their thanks to all those who did visit the Fería de Stock on Saturday.

Over 30 local businesses participated in the event but all saw the futility of trying to carry on during what promised to be a biblical-event Sunday – the animals gathering two by two was disconcerting; let’s face it.

Undaunted, the organisers of the Feria del Stock are now busily preparing the next one and will announce the date just as soon as they have one.
