La Feria de Abril, Seville
La Feria de Abril is Seville’s most popular party of the year. The week long festival includes traditional dress, parades, and dancing on the street.
La Feria de Abril’s event venue, Real de la Feria, just outside the city center, hosts over 1,000 marquees often with flamenco performances, bars, and music. The event traditionally takes place two weeks after Semana Santa (the week leading up to Easter Sunday).
Daily parade processions include beautiful people in full flamenco outfit and horse-drawn carriages. This festival attracts thousands of tourists every year and hotels book quickly, so reserve your space now and head to Seville’s warm retreat for this colourful and exciting party.
Southwest of the city centre, the open area of El Real de la Feria morphs into a temporary tent city containing around 1000 casetas (brightly striped tents).
Most casetas are private affairs erected by clubs, associations, families and groups of friends. It can feel a bit Secret Squirrel to an outsider, but these private parties are the essence of the Feria de Abril. Never fear, however, for there are also around 15 free public casetas where much the same fun goes on.
The feria opens on Monday night with the ceremonial lighting-up of the fairgrounds, which is the starting gun for six nights of Sevillanos’ favourite activities: eating, drinking, talking, dressing up and dancing till dawn. In the afternoons, from about 1pm, those who have horses and carriages parade about the site and the city, with the women in their flamenco finery and the men in traje corto (Andalucían farmers’ suits). On the busy days there can be up to 700 carriages clip-clopping around town.

Map of Seville
Because of the many warm months going out in Seville often is an open-air culture. Sometimes there is more going on in front of the bars than inside. That’s especially true for the area around the park along the Alameda de Hércules, a popular hangout for having a drink and a chat with friends. There is one bar after another and basically all the bars there are at least gay-friendly and the gay bars are straight-friendly, so you’ll usually find a mixed, easy-going crowd.
