Quintessentially Andalusian, All Sevillano Holidays
Share: It has the best fairs, the best nightlife, the best tapas bar (but
, of course, tapas was invented here), the best dressers, and the best architecture in all of southern Spain although the Sevillanos themselves will contend that their city is the best in all of Spain and Europe, period.
Visitors to the city are constantly amazed with its culture, its traditions and its people. The medieval lanes, hidden plazas and imposing strictures all point to a historical legacy that has lasted for thousands of years and still influences current events today. Such rich heritage can be experienced in the many holidays, festivals and fests that Sevillanos conduct with much gusto.
The most important holidays are often religious in nature, which is to be expected considering that Spain is a fervently Catholic country. The Semana Santa celebrations may be conducted in all parts of the country but Seville tops them all for its solemn but colorful and beautiful processions in the streets.
Two weeks after the end of the Semana Santa, the La Feria de Sevilla or the April Fair is conducted. Individuals, families and business organizations put up marquees where dancing and singing, drinking and eating and just general socializing happens from nine in the evening until six the following morning. The party will start from the streets and end within the more intimate confines of the casetas.
Share: Do dress up since the women are in their best flamenco dresses and the men in their best suits. It is a great time to make new friends and maybe even flirt. Keep in mind that flirting is an art in Seville and you may want to polish up on your skills.
After paying mind to your flirtation skills, the next item on the agenda before visiting Seville on these holidays is to book a holiday apartment a few weeks before the events. The city will be filled to the rafters and so will the hotels. A holiday apartment reserved in advance is your insurance that sleeping in Seville is as easy as the people are easy on the eyes.
If you find the prices to be on the expensive side when in the city, you may consider it as just payment for a holiday in sunny Seville. No other city in Spain can compare with the passion of Seville from its flamenco and bullfighting traditions to its tapas and manzanilla wines. The city, after all, is quintessentially Andalusian and yet distinctly Sevillano - a heady mix that brooks no argument from visitors and locals alike.
