I was able to get to SICAB in Sevilla, Spain for on the 28th and 29th of November 2008, which was a fantastic opportunity to see some of the best Spanish horses in the world.
I stayed in Seville's oldtown at the Hotel Abanico, a sweet little hotel situated in a little alley about 1 minutes walk from several charming Tapas bars, 5 minutes from the Cathedral, 15 minutes from the Santa Justa train station (from which Circularo trains could be caught every 20 minutes or so to the Palacio del Congresso). The nearby Nr. 27 bus also went to SICAB.
 

I'll upload more photos, some videos and information over the next couple of days.

 
Video footage of most of the classes can be found at SICAB TV.
