Light, colour, and a lot of joy. Every year, two weeks after the Semana Santa (Holy Week), Sevilla is taken over by its 'Feria de Abril'.

Seville’s Feria de Abril begins the night of the “alumbrao”, the inaugural moment when all the fairground lights are lit. This is also the night the traditional “pescaíto frito” (fried fish) is tasted in the stands.

For the duration of the fair, the fairgrounds and a vast area on the far bank of the Guadalquivir River are totally covered in rows of casetas. These casetas usually belong to prominent families of Seville, groups of friends, clubs, trade associations and political parties. Every day there are crowds partying and dancing sevillanas, drinking Sherry, manzanilla or rebujito, and eating tapas.

After a week of constant celebration, the Fair concludes with a great fireworks display over the Guadalquivir River.

One of the most common drinks of the Feria is the Wine Manzanilla and Manzanilla of La Guita is a must in this celebration. This wine is notable for its pale straw yellow colour, its freshness, delicacy and salinity with floral notes. On the palate it is outstandingly smooth and lightly structured with a fine minerality. This wine is the perfect match for any sort of aperitif: ham, cheese, preserves, or pates.
