Seville celebrates its traditional April Spring Festival

People dressed in traditional Andalusian clothing celebrate Seville's April Fair, held from 6th May to 11th May this year. The April Fair is one of the most international and popular of Seville’s fiestas. It was created in 1847 as a livestock fair, and over time the festive atmosphere that had grown up around the occasion took over the business aspect, and it became a permanent fixture in Seville’s social calendar.

During the celebrations, the city gets dressed up in its finery. For a week, more than a thousand of tents installed in the fairground area become the second home of the city’s inhabitants, a place where people come together to have fun and share experiences until the early hours of the morning.
