San Marcos--The Fair of Fairs (1331 words)
On a warm April morning as I strolled through the San Marcos Gardens in Aquascalientes, a vendor beckoned me to come over and have my fortune told by a supposedly clairvoyant canary.
This was the only luck I was to have in the next few days, as I experienced the San Marcos National Fair, the fair of fairs, which consumes the industrial city of Aquascalientes, located at the very center of Mexico, from the second week of April to the first week of May each year.
Cockfighting at the Fair, held in the first palenque in Aquascalientes known as La Primavera, dates from 1874.
