The summer fairs of Andalusia

All over the region of Andalusia, starting in late spring and lasting throughout the whole summer, there are uncountable fairs to visit since almost every city and town has its own, unique way to celebrate the fair.

What is typical of all the fairs of Andalusia is the tradition of casetas (tents) and flamenco dresses. Almost all women dress up in colorful flamenco dresses and men put on their most elegant suits.

The casetas are a big part of the fair where one goes together with family, friends etc and put up and decorate their own caseta where they serve tapas, drinks and dance all day and night during the whole week. If you visit during this time you will be really lucky to see all of the designs of flamenco costumes worn proudly by the local women.

Seville is the capital of Andalusia and the place where it has all started. Still, up to this day, every April Seville hosts a huge event during which all hotels raise their price 2-3 times higher than the normal rate and they are all fully booked.

Cordoba is another ancient city where the fair dates back to medieval times. The fair usually means that the shops are closed during the week, and that all the bars and restaurant move out to the street in the city. So the city center is one part of the fair but on the outskirts of Cordoba you can party in a huge, artificial ‘city’ - area of all the casetas and the traditional attractions found all over Europe such as carousels and other amusements. Cordoba’s fair happens in the end of May.

Feria of Malaga is another fair you should see at least once in your life. It takes place in August and it actually has two parts: Night Fair and Day Fair. Malaga divides into two different zones of party – Night Fair takes place in the Cortijo de Torres district and the Day Fair spread all around the historical part of the city centre.
