Travel Pick: Pop Culture and Cinema in Spain Feria de Abril
Feria de Abril SPAIN SEVILLE • Various • Ongoing
The annual Fería de Abril or April Fair, a week-long party of drink, food and dance which takes place day and night in more than a thousand especially mounted tents. But above all it allows the men to parade on their fine horses and the women to dance in brilliantly coloured gypsy dresses. Seville’s April Fair was founded in 1846 by a Basque and a Catalan whose initial aim was to improve business (trade and agriculture). It is now a major celebration in Spain and one of the main tourist attractions of Seville. The Seville fair is celebrated on an huge open site (about 1500 x 700 meters), just out of the city center, to the south of the Los Remedios quarter, opposite of the Maria Luisa park.
