SPECIAL EVENTS There are two big festivals in Seville. The first is Semana Santa held the week before Easter Sunday. During this time a procession of religious brotherhoods dressed a little like KKK members in pointy hoods and long robes walk through the city carrying sacred images. Crowds are huge so get a vantage point early.
The second festival is held not long after Easter in late April. It is called Feria de Abril and the six days of music, dancing, horse riding in Los Remedios and daily bullfights are fun to join in.
For more details see our festivals page.
