The April Fair will be held two weeks after Holy Week, and one of the main events is the lighting, highlighted by the large cover that can be seen illuminated from different points in Seville.
It is a great social gathering in which thousands of citizens enjoy booths fully decorated for the occasion, where flowers and music are constant. It is a master space where families, friends, acquaintances and people from all social classes gather to celebrate the arrival of spring.
This year, the festivities begin on Saturday, April 13 at night with the traditional "pescaito", but it is not until 00:00 on Sunday the 14th, when the lighting of the Real takes place, that the Fair officially begins.
During these days, it is very typical to stroll through the streets of Seville in a horse cart or go to see the bulls in the Sevillian Maestranza.
The women put out their best clothes with dresses full of frills to be able to dance the traditional Andalusian dances, full of color, flowers, mantillas, combs and they are the main protagonists in addition to the horses.
The Fair is about to start and the streets begin to fill with color and aroma.
