The artistic, cultural and financial capital of southern Spain bursts into merrymaking for the last week of April. The Fair of Seville is very Sevillan, but you can share many elements of this party with the locals.

Just strolling along the walks of the fair village is an experience. You meet carriages pulled by noble Andalusian horses, parades with riders in their traditional costumes and women wearing gipsy style flamenco dresses. The walks are surfaced with a special yellow soil called Albero and lined by more than a thousand stalls where the Sevillans practically live during the fair, meeting their relatives and invited guests, enjoying the food, drink and dancing.
