The well renowned Feria de Abril, or April Fair, takes place in the southern Spanish city of Seville. It usually begins 2 weeks after Easter Week, and it’s a 6 day non-stop fiesta where you can dance, drink, eat and mingle with local people and learn their traditions and why not, dance some sevillanas.

It takes place in the district of Los Remedios, where they settle hundreds of booths and attractions of all kinds. The official opening of the celebration begins with the lighting of lamps by the mayor. The festival ends next Sunday with the lights off and the fireworks, after the bullfight.

At noon every day there is a procession called the ‘Paseo de Caballos’ in which local girls in their full flamenco outfit are pulled through the city in beautiful carriages by splendid horses. In the evening some of the year’s top bullfights take place at the Plaza de Toros de Maestranza with tickets selling out well in advance.
