Feria De Abril

The Seville Fair (officially and in Spanish: Feria de Abril de Sevilla, "Seville April Fair") takes place in Seville, Spain, the Andalusian capital. The fair usually starts two weeks following the Easter Holy Week, or Semana Santa. The fair begins at midnight on Saturday and goes for seven days, ending on Saturday the following week. The celebration begins each day at lunchtime with a parade of carriages and horsemen conveying Seville's leading inhabitants to the bullring, La Real Maestranza, where bullfighters and breeders congregate.

The fairgrounds and a large area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are completely covered in rows of casetas throughout the duration of the fair (individual decorated marquee tents which are temporarily built on the fairground). These casetas are frequently associated with famous Seville families, friendship groups, clubs, trade associations, and political parties. There are crowds celebrating and dancing sevillanas, drinking Sherry, manzanilla, or rebujito, and eating tapas from around nine o'clock at night until six or seven o'clock the next morning, initially in the streets and then solely within each caseta. This fair also has an entertainment park with a variety of games to play as well as roller coasters to ride. The Feria de Abril is attended by a lot of people and is undoubtedly one of the most famous festivals in Spain.
