TEXT AND PHOTOS POPULAR CLASSIC VEHICLES FAIR OF ÁVILA: JAVIER ROMAGOSA
This is a regional fair, small but not without grace. The Popular Classic Vehicle Fair of Avila reaches its twelfth edition holding the type and applying the formula that has earned it success from the beginning: Closeness, familiarity, reasonable prices and, above all, humility; and it is that what the visitor imagines before arriving is just what they get once they cross the entrance door.
The Avila classics fair took place last weekend from September 21 to 23 on the multipurpose roof of the bullring of the capital of Avila, on the outskirts of the city. As its name suggests, the enclosure is partially outdoors, but has a large parking space and the standard cafeteria on the other side of the avenue.
What more could you want?
Next, we leave you the gallery of photos of rigor and we encourage you to attend next year's edition as well as to consult the chronicles of previous years.
