April Fair, Seville
The April Fair is without question the biggest event of the
year in Seville, and everyone who wants to be someone in the
city goes there to see and to be seen. The festival is held in a
vastfencedareafullof
casetas
(marqueetents)thatofferfood,
drinks and music.
Of course, the fair has a deeply Andalusian flavor, and if you
want to breathe in the spirit of the region, you'll find no better
place - the clothes, the music, the horses, the dances, the life-
style . . . everything is there.
The most significant image of the April Fair is the gateway to
the precinct, a colorful work of art which illumines the area
with about 20,000 light bulbs. It's a temporary structure, and a
different one is erected every year.
The fair is a worthy spectacle in itself, but bear in mind that
many of the
casetas
are only accessible by invitation. However, others have free access for
everyone (the staff at the entrance will help you to identify them).

two weeks after Holy Week.
