MUST SEE - LA FERIA DE SEVILLE
Seville the Andalusian – Two weeks
following Semana Santa, the capital of Andalusia reveals itself
in all its fineries to celebrate Feria de Abril. In ancient
times, it was little more than a cattle market, but through
the years, the Feria has become one of the greatest popular
festivities of Seville. The people of Seville celebrate the
return of spring. The cattle trade has since been set aside;
today, young girls and women of all ages parade in vibrant,
colorful typical flamenco dresses. The Feria is also an occasion
to admire brilliantly garbed riders astride their fine horses
parading on the other bank of the Guadalquivir.
