This street joins the Real to the amusement park and the circus. There
you can find hundreds of gadgets ranging from the traditional Ferris wheel to
the most futuristic looking devices. Naturally, the entertainment encompasses
various games, shows and other typical attractions of an amusement park.

Considering the size of the April Fair with hundrets of thousands of visitors, you would expect jam, rush and long queues. Amaisingly this is not the case. Public transportation from the huge parking area to the Real is very well organised. You hardly wait at all.

Although the Sevillans throw back more than one glass of Manzanilla or Fino
sherry, the atmosphere stays polite, friendly and peaceful all through the
night. To wind up the party people usually enjoy fried doughnuts, called
churros, with hot chocolate before going to sleep |
