The 'Feria de Abril' originally organized in Seville, the Andalusian capital. However in 1971, Barcelona Andalusian immigrants began organizing their own Feria de Abril in Seville that has grown over the years to become the second spring festival largest in Spain. It is a week full of color and entertainment and enjoy Andalusian city living traditions. Here they meet Southern Spanish, Catalan and tourists to enjoy singing, dancing and drinking sherry accompanying the paella.

The fair and flamenco
In the April Fair is organized in the Forum area enDiagonal Sea, where they are assembled small tents, booths calls. Each one belongs to a different organization, be it a political party and a cultural association. Each year about 70 booths are assembled, they are filled with happy people enjoying the food, dancing and celebration to the Andalusian.



The big difference between the fer of Barcelona and Seville in Barcelona is that the booths are open to the public. Anyone can enter, try traditional food and sherry and enjoy the spectacular flamenco, some have dance floor for everyone to move!

Another important part of the April Fair is the large amusement park with a Ferris wheel overlooking the Mediterranean. You can also ask for cotton candy and popcorn while lounging on the emotions of the car crash and shooting.
The entire atmosphere at this event is so special. It really is a feast for the whole family as many of the celebrations of the country and see how the different generations enjoy on the dance floor at the same time. Many costumes worn by giving a touch of color even more festive: the men wear short suit (short jacket, tight trousers and boots) and women's ruffled or flamenco dresses. The flamboyant atmosphere is unforgettable. Prepare your castanets!
