The April Fair in Seville (Feria de Abril) is an annual week-long festival of flamenco, horse shows, bullfights and some serious dancing, drinking and eating. If you want to experience a true Andalusian ‘fiesta’, then you can’t get more authentic than the April Fair in Seville.

The southern Spanish region of Andalusia is the birthplace of Flamenco; the passionate and provocative art form that dates back over 500 years and is probably one of the most expressive forms of dance you can hope to encounter.

Easter or Holy Week in Spain is huge; it’s one of, if not the most important annual celebration. Every village, town and city organises its own celebrations. You may have experienced it firsthand, or seen what outsiders view as the strange sight of the tall hooded masked processions, and huge gold thrones which travel at a snails pace through the streets.

You’re running around all day, trying to cram in the many beautiful sights of Seville: a visit to the cathedral, the Alcazar and the neighbourhood of the Judería (old Jewish quarter). Your feet are aching and before you head out for a night of tapas, you really need to chill out and rejuvenate your energy levels. Do you just head back to your holiday apartment in Seville, have a shower and go out again? Before heading straight back to your accommodation why not search out the Aire de Sevilla, the city’s Arabic baths.

Sightseeing in the city of Seville is just manageable by foot, but to enjoy all the city’s sights and attractions more comfortably, why don’t you hire a bike?

Restoration works that have been taking place over the last few years on Seville’s most cherished monument, the central Plaza de España, have finally been completed, and the Plaza is looking brand new and squeaky clean; not at all like the 81 years old that she actually has!

When you think of the Andalucian capital of Seville and its tradition of music and dance, I imagine like most visitors, you would conjure up scenes of passionate Sevilliana, festivities of the fería or the unrequited love of traditional flamenco. Well, put all of that to one side, and think outside of the box, because today in Seville the 17th edition of the Mes de Danza (Dance Month) kicks off; taking place from 29th October to 21st November 2010 inclusive.

London, Paris, Rome, Madrid and now fashion week comes to the Andalusian capital of Seville. It’s well known that Seville’s residents are extremely an extremely well-dressed crowd and now they are setting the records straight; Sevillana fashion is not all Flamenco and feria flounce, Seville is home to some seriously hot new trends and local designers are putting the city on the fashion map.
