I have the original Geneva tent and I now bought this one Geneva II for me and my wife and I love it. lots of room, and very easy to assemble. Add the queen size Wenger air bed, a bottle of your favorite beverage a nice fire to sit around that night and guys you can take your woman camping and you both will have a great camping trip! I am sure you can figure out the rest. The tent is very well put together and lots of neat items and designs added.
Customer Review: Happy Camper
Beautiful tent with every ammenity you could want. My buddies named it the Taj Mahal. Be sure to have at least two able-bodied adults to put the tent up. Great buy for the money. We were even able to get it back into the carrying case for easy transport after breaking camp.


Every May sees the wonderful spectacle of the Jerez Horse Fair or Feria de Caballo. Spain's world famous sherry producing town, Jerez de la Frontera, plays host to the most prestigious equine heritage event in the whole of Spain, and one of the most important in Europe.

It attracts many thousands of visitors each year who come to witness the remarkable displays of horsemanship along with the bullfights and exhibitions of Sevilliana (flamenco.)

Originally a cattle market the Jerez Horse Fair now has three distinct branches. There are still the live stock and agricultural machinery exhibitions then there are the bullfighting and Sevilliana displays which take place in Hontoria Park. And last but by no means least the Horse Fair itself.

The daunting feats that the Spanish purebreds and the Andlusian thoroughbreds perform are absolutely outstanding and the sheer quality of the displays quite remarkable. It is an extremely packed programme consisting of purebred Arab and Anglo-Arab in-hand classes, doma vaquera and doma classica - known as cowboy and classical dressage respectively along with show jumping and vaulting.

However the highlight of the Jerez Horse Fair is undoubtedly the "Como Bailan los Caballos Andaluces" or the Dancing Andalusian Horses. This is performed by the world famous Real Escuela de Arte Ecuestre (Royal School of Equestrian Art) which is based in Jerez itself. This is an incredible fully fledged equestrian ballet which features choreography adapted from the training exercises of classical dressage and doma vaquera, along with Spanish music and costumes. There is one quite remarkable move known as the cabriole which involves the horse throwing its forelegs and hind legs in an outward arc before putting its feet to the ground

A side spectacle to the Jerez Horse Fair are the numerous Spaniards who take great delight in riding up and down the main street, impeccably dressed a la Andaluz normally with their ladies riding sidesaddle behind them in their beautiful Sevilliana dresses. Their mounts likewise are beautifully turned out. It really is a wonderful site and adds much atmosphere and flavour to the whole event.

A trip to The Annual Jerez Horse Fair should certainly be on the agenda not only of all horse lovers but also for anyone who wants to sample a taste of rural Spain at it's best. Organizing ferias is one thing that the Spanish, and the Andalusians in particular, excel at and the Feria de Caballo de Jerez is certainly no exception.
