The Seville Fair takes place just two weeks after Semana Santa, in a huge area in Los Remedios, to the south-west of the city, next to the river. This is a week of serious dancing, drinking, eating and socialising, with late nights - or all-nighters - the norm. The sheer size of the April Fair's spectacle is extraordinary. From around midday until early evening - especially on Tuesday, the first official day - Sevilla society parades around the fairground in carriages or on horseback. There are also daily bullfights, generally considered the best of the season.
It´s origin in 1846, as a Fair designed for buying and selling livestock, in which two merchants, Narciso Bonaplata and José María de Ybarra signed a statement asking permission to hold this annual fair. Today only some vestiges as bullfights and horseback riding on the Real de la Feria.
