Feria

Feria week in Sevilla. The week that is the centre of the lifes of people from Sevilla.

What is Feria? You may ask...
Feria is a whole week of party that started (long time ago) as an animal market. Kind of what it is today, animals go there (but they are humans) and stay there all day eating and drinking.
Feria is highly related to miarmas. The "real" (the physical place where Feria is) is in the heart of the miarma neighbourhood in the city. It's miarmas territory and you can notice it as soon as you see a bunch of people going to Feria.
There we find the "Casetas", that are the places where miarmas get drunk and full of food. They are private most of them. Public ones don't use to be good (or safe). Despite it's kind of miarma, you should try the caseta experience. They use to play flamenco music, dance sevillanas (a dance from Sevilla) and everything is full of colour. There you have to try rebujito, which is the official drink in Feria. It's basically a kind of white wine from the South of Spain mixed with white soda, it's good and refreshing.

At the end of the day, after dinner, when your body is destroyed, you should try the best way to kill next day hangover: Churros con chocolate.
They can be found in a few places around Feria, it means the end of the night and time to get the metro or the bus and go home.

As I'm lately trying always, a couple of pictures of yesterday's Feria:

Dinner, fried fish, montaditos, picos and rebujito

Crowded street where you can see a few casetas

Be awesome!
