Camperos boots, ideal for April's fair and Rocio's Pilgrimage

After the cold winter, nice weather introduces two events that we always love. First of them is Barcelona’s April’s Fair, a fantastic Spring’s and Andalusian culture party that takes place at Catalonia’s capital city in a huge open area with temporary stands decorated with lanterns, streets full of visitors, horse riders and horse carriages. Organized by Andalusian Cultural Entities Federation in Catalonia, this year edition is once again taking place at Forum area between April 27th and May 6th. This is the 47th edition and for those of us that are far away from Andalucia we can say that it is as good as the Feria that takes place in Seville.

The second major event is the pilgrimage to El Rocio, a trully demonstration of the popular andalusian religiousness celebrated in honour to “Virgen del Rocio”. As you will probbably know, it takes place at El Rocio a little village that belongs to Almonte, province of Huelva, the Pentecost Monday weekend. This year will take place during May 20th to 21st weekend.

Both events are very special celebrations where all of us want to dress up, so it is the perfect excuse to wear our best pair of Camperos boots. And we love that!

Camperos boots: April’s Fair and Rocio pilgrimage best choice

Camperos boots were initially work boots to wear at the country, walk over the land and mud or horse riding. They were made to last long and ressist but with the passing of time they evolved becoming an atemporal footwear with its own and unique style.

So for example, it’s high leg version is called rociero boot. Their highness is perfect to walk along the countryside avoiding scratching our legs with the weeds. It is so the best footwear for El Rocio piligrimage. Furthermore, the quality leathers used for these boots protect your feet with a perfect perspiration and adapt to their shape. Becoming specially tough and last ressistant.

For all these reasons they are Rocio pilgrim’s preferred boots. Not only for those who make the pilgrimage walking but also for horse riders, because the softness of the leather perfectly transmit the direct contact between the rider and saddle.

Of course, you will also find the perfect camperos boots for April’s Fair, ankle boot and the tradicional Camperos. With their wide shape and high instep that make them specially comfortable to walk around the stands.
