Blooming flowers, the clatter of hooves, and the lingering notes of flamenco from taverns... For many, Seville embodies the image of Spain 🍊 The romance and passion of the Spanish are even more vividly displayed at the April Fair in Seville. This famous festival originally started as an agricultural trade fair and later evolved into a spring festival of song and dance 💃 This year's April Fair will be held from April 13th to 21st.
