Las carreras de caballos en las playas son exclusivas de España; hoy en día sobreviven las que se celebran en la playa de Sanlucar de Barrameda, Laredo y Fuenterrabía, pero también se celebraban otras que tuvieron gran tradición hasta los años 60. Se trata de las carreras veraniegas de la Playa de La Victoria, en Cádiz :
(Diaro ABC, 11 de Agosto de 1.946)
La imagen corresponde a una de las carreras de caballos que se celebraban en la playa Victoria, frente al Balneario. La Guardia Municipal se encargaba de mantener el orden despejando la arena para que los caballos pudieran competir sin peligro para los espectadores.
Y aquí os pongo un anuncio, de la prensa local, de 1.930 sobre la celebración de las carreras en el mes de Agosto :
Reymundo obtuvo esta foto de la playa Victoria en los años treinta del pasado siglo, con los toldos y casetas preparadas para las tradicionales carreras de motos y caballos. El baño no era frecuente y los hombres paseaban por la arena con la misma indumentaria que en la plaza de Mina. Al fondo podemos ver las torres de la Telefonía Sin Hilos :
Es una pena que se pierdan estas tradiciones pero aquí queda esta reseña para que no se olviden.
Maspalomas, un simple aficionado.

Reymundo obtained this photo of the Victoria Beach in the thirties of last century, with the tents and booths ready for the traditional motorcycle and horse racing. The bathroom was rare and men walking on the sand with the same clothing in the Plaza de Mina. In the background we can see the towers of the Wireless Telephony:
