Easter week (Semana Santa) We would be happy to help, simply click and send a mail
Spring in Seville has a special atmosphere; the main monuments of the city are garlanded carefully, the alleyways and streets are pervaded with the sweet scent of orange. The city’s most important weeks are oncoming. First, Semana Santa (Easter week) arrives. With spectacular processions of penitents, it is like an open air museum on the streets where crowds of residents and visitants get involved. The sculptures are considered artistic masterpieces of great antiquity, from XVI century onwards. Seville’s Easter Week is a pilgrimage with origins set in the late Middle Ages (from 1350 onwards).  It is culturally and spiritually important to the local population. Consequently, processions are traditionally watched in silence followed by applause from the public.  Sensations and emotions are guaranteed, depending on the scene you have the opportunity to watch: a sing (saeta), a rising or lower (levantá), cheers and shouts from the crowd, the release of rose petals from a balcony, the lights and shadows on the walls of the Alcazar… Rest assured to be impressed by this open air spectacle regardless of your faith.

	Seville’s fair (Feria de abril de Sevilla) We would be happy to help, simply click and send a mail
	Seville is city of cultural, sports, music and multiactivities events. The sheer size of the April Fair's spectacle is extraordinary, bullfights (considered the best of the season), Sevilla society parades around the fairground in carriages or on horseback; casetas, canvas tent pavillions of varying sizes, equipped with a bar, kitchen and sound system or live entertainment,  numbering over 1,000. This is a week of eating and socialising, drinking and dancing, with late nights, or all-nighters, the norm. Women wear the "gypsy outfits" or flamenco dresses, often in bright colours, and accessorised with matching flower in hair, jewellery, tasselled scarf -shawl, comb and fan. Attending the Feria, en effect, is magic, you never know what will surprise you. If you would like to visit, simply click and send a mail, we are happy to help.
Corpus Christi We would be happy to help, simply click and send a mail
Seville is a celebration, eager to show its best, needless to say in the solemn Corpus Christi procession. A magnificent procession bears the consecrated host through the streets that are still typical carpeted with greenery for. This adds a special ambiance to the processions. The Corpus Christi parades also tend to attract all the local authorities. If you would like to visit, We would be happy to help, simply click and send a mail.
El Rocio We would be happy to help, simply click and send a mail
The Rocío pilgrimage (For a few days in late May or early June at Pentecost time) attracts nearly a million people from across Andalucia, the entire country, and beyond. This cult dates back to the 13th century, when a hunter discovered a statue of the Virgin Mary in a tree trunk in the Doñana park. A chapel was built where the tree stood, and it became a place of pilgrimage. Then, by the 17th century, hermandades (brotherhoods) were making the trip from nearby towns; by the 19th century, they came from all over Seville on a journey taking up to four days. El Rocio became more and more widespread, and these days participants come from as far away as Barcelona (Spain)- not to mention tourists who travel from abroad, around Europe and even further afield. The town is a pretty Wild-West-style place, you can ride and you tie your horse to a wooden rail with a sign saying - reserved for horses - while you have a drink or a meal, with sandy, unpaved roads so that easier on the hooves.
