Feria

It's Feria madness in Seville at the moment. Luckily it is not in the center as Semana Santa was, but out in Los Remedios. But all the taxis are taken, and half the buses are on strike.

I love walking the streets and seeing the women in their beautiful (and very expensive!) Feria dresses walk by. The people are dressed to the nines and then they go stand that heat in the fairgrounds! They party all night in casetas (like really fancy tents with bars and bathrooms) of which there are 1700, four of which are public, and an assortment of fair rides for the children. At night women dance Sevillana and there are even guards to the casetas! But they are private and you must be invited in. People stay out til 6 or 7 in the morning. Too late for me!

Dad and I popped in one afternoon for a quick view. It's interesting and funny to see all the horses and carriages carting people through town. Oh Seville!
