The Feria de Abril (April Fair) in Seville, Spain, is a week-long celebration of Andalusian culture, held two weeks after Easter. The festival transforms the fairgrounds into a dazzling scene of colorful "casetas" (private tents), where locals gather to enjoy flamenco music and dancing, traditional Sevillanas, and delicious food and drinks, including tapas and sherry wine. By day, parades of horse-drawn carriages and riders in traditional attire fill the streets, while at night, the fairgrounds come alive with music, lights, and festivities. One of Spain’s most famous festivals, the Feria captures the joyful spirit of Seville.
