Feria de Abril

The week I traveled to London and Paris there was a week long fair going on in Sevilla. It's located in one area of Sevilla. There are hundreds of tents set up with a big bridge entrance. Most of the tents are private, so it's pretty much just for Sevillians. They wear their flamenco dresses, drink, dance, and eat.
Saturday I went and checked it port with Allyson and Lanae. We found one of the public tents and drank rebujitos, white wine and sprite. Its was fun to just relax and watch everything going on around us.

The horses were dressed up too

There was a carnival part to it too. There were tons of rides. At sunset we rode the ferris wheel. It was tie fastest one I've been on and we had a great view.

Then we decided to go to the circus! There were elephants, camels, dogs, trapeze artists, tigers, and more. Not as good as ringling brothers,  but it was fun to see the circus.

The Bridge at night


Sunday night marked the end of feria and so there were fireworks. Lanae and I went, sat on one of the bridges with everyone else in Sevilla and watched them. It was strange no seeing everyone decked out un red, white, & blue, while watching them.
