Seville’s April Fair is one of the most important popular festivals in Spain. It takes place every year, usually two weeks after Easter, and transforms the city into an authentic festival of colour, music and Andalusian tradition. Originally a cattle market set up in 1847, the fair has grown over the years to become a major social event. On the Real de la Feria site, in the Los Remedios neighbourhood, hundreds of casetas are set up where people dance sevillanas, enjoy tapas and put on shows and attractions. The streets are decorated with lanterns and coloured lights, while men and women parade on horseback or in carriages, dressed in traditional costumes. The festival is characterised by joy, family get-togethers and a celebration of Sevillian culture, attracting thousands of visitors from all over Spain and abroad.
