How many parties cover close to a square mile?
Feria de Sevilla is, probably, Spain’s biggest party and Seville is a city that knows how to party.
Just imagine 1,000 private casetas, warm orange scented air, tapas, music and dancing 24/7 throughout Feria week.
Feria has to be experienced for the sheer volume of happy, friendly, people, its sounds and tastes plus spectacle of horses, horse drawn carriages and colourful “traje de gitano” the flamenco (gypsy) dresses.
For the best experience you need to know one of Sevilla’s most prominent families, such as Horacio of Between Congresos y Eventos, be connected to a business or member of an association, club or political party who together own one of the thousand private casetas. And …. be invited to join their party.
Casetas are canvas tent pavilions where the owners entertain family, friends and important business contacts. Casetas are made for entertaining – fully equipped with a bar, kitchen and sound system or live entertainment playing Sevillanas (local folk music).
Alternatively you can enter one of the seven huge public casetas.
Feria de Sevilla always takes place two weeks after Semana Santa (Easter week).
Each day the party starts around 13:30 with an endless flow of drinks and tapas until the small hours of the next day. And… on the final the Feria closes with a bang – many bangs in a huge firework display.
