Hello!

I'm new to the boards but not the site and I am nuts about Spain.

I am planning to go the Feria de Abril and am looking for others who want to go. I went with friends this year and want to go again but have no one to go with! I'm thinking of exploring other Andalucian cities, as well since I love Granada and would love to see it again.

If you are interested, contact me!

The "Feria de Abril" is equestrian folk and their horses/carriages, all decked out in their finest attire, as well as Sevillana dancing and other entertainment. (Anyone feel free to elaborate on this.)

Irene and I went in '99 and loved it. Smiler

The Feria de Abril will be held during the week of 28th April 2003 to the 4th May 2003. It must be wonderful to stay in Sevilla during this time. In fact that area of Andalucia springs to life in April and May with plenty of fiestas / ferias. If you planned it well, you can move from one to the next and at the end of May you will need a serious rest !!!

Maybe at that time you could do the annual EL ROCIO pilgrimage from Sevilla to El Rocio ?? Next year it will be over the weekend of the 7th/8th June culminating in 'Rocio Monday' on the 9th ?

Hey Silvita, welcome to the board Big Grin

Ena, myself, Raquel, Liz and whoever else is into it will be going for a few days during the Feria this April-May Smiler Dates are not definite but it will most likely be the closing weekend (May 4th and 5th).

ENa and I went with Raquel and Liz last year and it was a GREAT time, Raquel and Liz know loads of people with "casetas" (the typical tents) there and we got into some good ones, they really showed us a good time.

The Feria is unique, a wonderful time to be in Sevialla and everyone should experience it at least once.

It can be a bit exclusive if you do not know people there as most of the "casetas" are private and closed to the general public but feel free to join us in our Saturday night out on the 4th!!! I am sure Lizzie (joquecalor) can find room for one more Big Grin
