Seville Fair

The biggest party in Seville is the April Fair. It is celebrated every year on the dates after Easter, in general, two weeks after Holy Week and starting in the month of April.

For its celebration, they arrange an urbanized fairground of over 1,000,000 square meters, next to the neighbourhood of Los Remedios, near the marina and the Guadalquivir River. They install marquee tents, amusement parks, parking and other services.

Currently, visitors, apart from the usual means of transport used in other years to reach the exhibition, now have two new metro stops nearby.

The fair starts Monday night with the traditional dinner of ‘pescaíto' (fried fish) and the turning on the 'alumbrao' (lighting), and ends on Sunday.

The fairs in Seville, despite the crisis, are no different. It's a return to the customs of the past.

People of Seville decked out in regional costumes, still tailored to the most outrageous fashion show actualities, are transfigured into beings of the past, exposing our most genuine ethnicity.

The fair is not just dancing, singing and cured ham, it’s the people. The thousands of people from Seville that fill the streets give it the stamp that makes it unique and unrivalled.

It's a beautiful fair, the Seville fair is authentic. It is the capital of Andalusia, and therefore stands out from the other provinces the reflection of the lights in the water.

My visit was to all of Andalusia, but among all the cities and towns I visited, Seville stood out among them. Do not visit Seville in summer. In August it is very, very, very hot, autumn and spring are perfect for visiting.
