Seville is a busy place for Ferias and Fiestas and at certain times the huge Semana Santa Festival and La Feria de Abril clash and both occur at within a few days of each other. Just thinking about it can be exhausting!
La Feria de Abril (April Fair) is basically a week long event packed with Flamenco Parties, Horse shows and a large agricultural show.
If visiting Seville is on your agenda then visiting during the fair may be a great time to come.
The celebrations are full of life and colour and the costume can be stunning. The men wear traditional Andalucian Wear, Short jackets, boots and chaps whilst the women dress in the traditional Spanish Dresses that are a mass of ruffles in vibrant colours.
Seville is the home of Flamenco and during La Feria de Abril you are able to see some of the worlds top Flamenco dancers.
Dont plan on going to bed early though, the dancing and partying lasts well into the night.
Seville and Andalucia are also known throughout the world for the Bull Fighting and Horses.
La Maestranza is probably the worlds best know Bullring and from around 6.30pm each night you are able to go along to the Plaza de Toros de Maestranza de Caballeria in central Seville and witness some of the worlds top bull fighters in action.
If horses are your thing then you need to be up and out by midday to witness the Paseo de Caballos which is a spectacular procession of wonderfully decorated horses and carriages that are driven by horsemen and women in traditional Flamenco dress.
