The third time in a row, we visited the Monográfica del Galgo Español in Spain. This year, the event took place in Quintana de la Serena, a little village in the Extremadura, apart from the typical tourist routes. The village is also called “Ciudad del Granito”, because one of its major sources of income is the mining and the processing of granite. They say, that there are living 5000 inhabitants and 3000 Galgos.
The exhibition took place in a large, airy tent, installed in a little park. It normally serves to celebrate the village festivities. There, we were protected from the hot sun and the temperatures were very pleasant (but, all the photos became yellowish due to the colored tent roof).
Because of the large number of entered Galgos, the judgement took place in two rings at the same time (we do not know, how many Galgos were entered, because they were registered until five minutes before the beginning of the exhibition). Judges were D. Carlos Salas Mecero (males) and D. Francisco Salamanca Llorente (females).
In addition to the Monográfica, there also the so called "Concurso" took place, where dogs without official papers can be shown. Judges were: Jesús García de Lera, Bartolomé Ramírez Castro und Carmen Gil Polo.
Here, we put together some of our photos:
