Féria de Abril (May 2014)

Erin and I left Greece and we headed to Spain. When we arrived in Sevilla, one of the biggest festivals of the year, La Feria de Abril, was in full swing. Feria is a 6-day-long festival where hundreds of tents, or casetas, are set up in a square in Los Remedios (close to where I lived in Triana). These tents are usually for prominent families in Sevilla, but there are also public tents where anyone can go. The tents all have flamenco music and dancers. Natives and tourists all dress up in traditional flamenco dresses. The tents have bars serving rebujitos, a kind of white sangria that is soooooo delicious. Feria also has parades, shows, rides and games throughout the week.

Erin and I headed to Plaza de España for a quick photo-op before the festivities began!

We were able to watch the fireworks that ended Feria from our friends' rooftop!
