Thanks, mate! To be honest, it's not very easy to find new battles anymore, without being a bit too obscure. Next image is not particular enough to be really helpful, so it's accompanied by two photos concerning the modern reenactment, following the battle's 200-years anniversary:

I very much agree with you there. I find it increasingly hard to find something that wouldn't be a dead giveaway. Might this one be the battle of Somosierra? Probably not as that involved Polish Hussars but worth a try.
rather than complaining, just start wars yourself, so that you'll have pictures to post!!
Under the patronage of Finlander, patron of Lugotorix & Lifthrasir & joerock22 & Socrates1984 & Kilo11 & Vladyvid & Dick Cheney & phazer & Jake Armitage & webba 84 of the Imperial House of Hader
Same.
Somosierra is very close, in terms of opponents, geography, result and slightly time, but it's not the correct answer. Given that they celebrate the battle's anniversary, the clothes of the tourists can give a hint regarding the season. The gentleman indeed look Spanish, but they're not. Their effectiveness however inspired a Spanish institution, whose uniform still resembles that of the depicted unit.
Could it be Evora?
Cause tomorrow is a brand-new day
And tomorrow you'll be on your way
Don't give a damn about what other people say
Because tomorrow is a brand-new day
My apologies, I completely forgot about it. It's not Evora, but the battle in question did indeed occur during the same month. It was also a decisive defeat for the Spanish. In the image below, you can view the victorious general and his easily distinguishable outlook:
That is Jean-Baptiste Bessíéres after the battle of Burgosi think?
One is Lasalle I think. The other might be Bessieres. It is one of the battles of 1808. I would answer but I don't want to go next.
Must be the Battle of Medina de Rioseco then... otherwise I dont deserve to win
Medina de Rioseco is the correct answer! I chose that specific battle, because I had mentioned it, when I guessed the previous one about Bailen. The gentlemen who looked like Spaniards were supposed to represent the Gendarmerie of the Empire. Their impact on Spain was very strong upon the country's police institutions, as it can be seen even today, in the extraordinary hats of the Guardia Civil:
Thank you for the explanation. I had looked at that battle earlier but I couldnt really find paintings about the cavalry charge so I thought it was wrong.
Alexander fought the battle.
Aye, sadly I cannot rep you.
