Approximately one million people attend the festival. 

It began as a cattle market in 1847 with tents erected for the selling of the

animals. 

Nowadays, the tents are striped in bright colours and

inside there is music and dancing. 

The tents are called casetas (little houses). 

Most of the casetas are erected in an area of the festival known as El Real de la Feria, and there are

around one thousand of them!

Every year, there is a temporary gateway to

the Feria, called La Portada. 

Right are the gateways of 2008 and 2009.  The gateway is covered in electric light bulbs so that it is lit up at night

time.  For that reason, it is also known as

La Alumbrada, meaning 'the illuminated one.'

The very first gateway to open the Seville Fair.

Each day there is a fairground known as 'the street of hell'  (La Calle del Infierno), horse parades, bull-fights, dancing and music, and

general merry-making! 

At the end of the week of festivities, there are fireworks. 

The way to say 'fireworks' in Spanish is 'los fuegos artificiales.‘

It is well-known that people (including children) return home at dawn following a night at La Feria de

Sevilla.

questions!!

Each year, there is a poster to advertise the event.
