As Seville prepares to host its famous Feria de Abril, here is everything you need to know to enjoy all the fun of the fair!
What is a feria?
Feria, as you might have guessed, means fair in English and is a
week-long event celebrated at a different time of year for each city and
town, primarily in the south of Spain.
Most of these fairs are typically celebrated during the spring or autumn, but there are some in the summer.
Entrance
Most towns and cities have a fair ground area where casetas or large tents are erected every year and rented to local businesses, restaurants and organizations.
The casetas contain bars where food and drinks are served, a dance floor
and tables. There are no entrance restrictions or fees, anyone can
enter the fairgrounds, any caseta they choose and enjoy the food
and drink. The exception to this rule, is Feria de Abril or the
Seville Feria.
Food
Pescaito frito or fried fish is the most typical food at feria; menus
also contain all of the other typical Spanish foods, jamón, montaditos
etc. and you’ll find the food prices to be slightly higher than usual, as
you’d probably expect.
