The 1st Wacky Races in San Pablo del Buceite (Jimena de la Frontera)

If you missed this, you’ll want to be there next year! Fun, colour and laughter were the order of the day, during the feria of San Pablo de Buceite, in the municipality of Jimena de la Frontera, on the 2nd July 2022 when the town held its first pride competition of “Wacky Races” or as it was called in Spanish “Autos Locos.”





A number of teams took part with their colourful cars that not only showed skilled craftsmanship but also creativity at its best. There were the Flintstones, crazy clown firemen, a Roman chariot, a solo shark, super Mario brothers, a VW beach bug and even an original bathtub, with a complete fitted shower, among others. 





Amidst the colours and fun, there was also a heartwarming message to women everywhere on the side of a pink car in aid of breast cancer. The message was: “Eres mucho mas fuerte de lo que piensas” - You are much stronger than you think.


 


The race started in Plaza de la Constitution, which is where the prizes were handed out to the proud winners of the race. It was a fun day out for the whole family. You might not want to miss it next year.  If you’re feeling creative, you could even put your own team together and take part! 


For more information, it’s best to contact the Ayuntamiento de Jimena de la Frontera. 


It’s an event that is guaranteed not to disappoint!!!
