Major Festivals and Events in Andalusia

The history of the Feria dates back to 1847, when it was originally organized as a cattle fair. Over time, however, it evolved into a grand cultural event, now a symbol of Andalusia. The fair is a unique blend of ancient traditions and modern entertainment.

One of the main highlights is the more than a thousand colorful casetas (tents), where guests enjoy delicious Spanish cuisine and live Sevillana music, dancing until dawn. Brightly decorated carriages and elegant horses parade through the streets, creating an atmosphere of a true Spanish celebration. The festival culminates with a spectacular fireworks show that lights up Seville’s night sky.

Don’t forget to wear traditional flamenco attire and take a ride in a horse-drawn carriage to fully immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of this unforgettable Feria.

The festival’s origins trace back to Roman times, and since 1921 it has been held as an official competition, attracting thousands of visitors each year. In 2012, it was recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage, highlighting its significance and uniqueness.

The main charm of the festival lies in the courtyards themselves. Homeowners open their inner patios to visitors, decorating them with live flowers, greenery, and traditional elements. Each courtyard is unique, and every design is a work of art. During the festival, a contest is held where the courtyards compete in various categories, with judges evaluating not only the architecture but also the originality of each arrangement.

The city comes alive with music, folk dances, and gastronomic fairs, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the authentic spirit of Andalusia.

Each day of the fair is filled with music, dancing, and exquisite cuisine accompanied by sherry in the casetas (tents). Evenings end with spectacular fireworks lighting up the night sky.

The Romería is dedicated to the Virgin of El Rocío, known as the “Blanca Paloma” (White Dove), and takes place on the 50th day after Easter, during Pentecost. Pilgrims from all over Spain and beyond make their way to the sacred chapel in the center of the village, where the image of the Virgin is kept.

The journey to El Rocío is a spiritual and traditional path, undertaken on foot, horseback, or in decorated carts. Dressed in vibrant Andalusian costumes, accompanied by music, dancing, and bonfires at rest stops, pilgrims create an atmosphere filled with joy and devotion. Upon arrival, grand processions and religious ceremonies fill the village with a festive and solemn spirit.
