Feria de Abril 2024
By Charlotte Stace
Immerse yourself in Andalusian culture this month as the 52nd Feria de Abril de Catalunya returns to Parc del Fòrum. Promoted by the Federation of Andalusian Cultural Entities in Catalonia (FECAC), this traditional fair is based on the same style as those of the famous grand ferias in the south of Spain - the most famous of which being the Feria de abril de Sevilla.
The fair is famous for its many 'casetas' (marquees), classical Spanish music and a lot of 'Sevillanas' dancing. It represents much of the traditional culture of Andalucia, with food, drink, products and other goods available to buy. There is also a fairground area where children can play and adults can dance.
The fair will be divided into three areas: one will hold around 100 stalls, as well as restaurant areas; another with approximately 125 attractions; and a third that will join these two points and offer a space to sit and relax.
