"La Feria de Abril"
La Feria de Abril (The April Fair) has been held
annually in Seville, the capital of Andalusia, Spain
for more than 150 years. It was originally organized
as a cattle fair, but soon transformed into a larger,
more general festival which involved all the citizens
of Seville. As the Feria grew in popularity, many
tourists came from all over the world to participate.La
Feria now lasts for an entire week. It takes place
in a vast area just out side the city where hundreds
of CASETAS (decorated marquee tents) are built.
The casetas belong to prominent families of Seville,
companies and groups of friends and others. Inside
the casetas, people dance a folkloric dance called
“SEVILLANAS”, drink wine from Jerez,
eat TAPAS and have fun till next morning!

We, the organizers are a group of flamenco lovers

and life form of Andalusia) dance, singing and guitar
performances plus a photo exhibition(2007)by prominent
Spanish photographers.
