Feria de Abril

Public casetas free; private ones invitation-only; horse rides ~EUR 30
Best time: Two weeks after Easter, for six days

In Seville’s Los Remedios district, a fairground of more than 1,000 candy-striped casetas (tents) appears for one week of nonstop flamenco, fino sherry, and sevillana dancing. Days belong to the horse parades β€” riders in traditional traje corto, women on horseback in flamenco dress; nights belong to the casetas, which roar with music until 4 AM.

Pro tip: most casetas are private (family- or club-run) but the city runs public casetas with the same atmosphere β€” look for ones marked β€œpublica.” Wear the dress code: traje de flamenca for women, traje corto or suit for men. Don’t show up before 10 PM.
