As you read this, I’ll celebrate La Fería de Abril, an annual springtime festival fair that lights the city up. This vibrant festival connects the community with Andalusian history and traditions; there is music, traditional dancing, delicious tapas, and colorful flamenco dresses.
Here's everything I know about La Fería de Abril! La Fería de Abril, or Fería, is a week-long celebration two weeks after Semana Santa (Easter), where locals and tourists dance Flamenco and wear traditional flamenco attire. They gather in the neighborhood of Los Remedios and enjoy a fairground full of private tents (casetas) where they party all day and night!
This tradition started in the 19th century. Then, farmers showcased their livestock to people in the city. Seeing how the event united the community, locals kept the tradition alive. Now, instead of stables, there are casetas where people sit, chat, dance, eat, and play.
