Hola todos
La Feria is a week long celebration that began Monday night/Tuesday morning 12:00am with the lighting of the Portada (the gateway into the fairgrounds) and the entire fair grounds.
The party lasts until next Sunday night.
From 2pm to about 9pm is a family atmosphere with dancing, drinking of el "rebujito" and manzanilla, a sherry wine from the Andalusian region that has a flavor reminiscent of chamomile (in Español, manzanilla = chamomile). There is also a parade of the most beautiful equines you will ever see, pulling carts ladden with dressed up ladies and gentlemen.
From 9pm to 8 am, the party intensifies, and all the Spaniards head toward their families' casetas to drink and drink some more.
The casetas are mostly private tents, but there are a few public ones that us tourists can buy drinks and food in. You can't just walk into a random caseta and be welcomed; they have security guards and you have to be invited.
It is craziness, just like the rest of Sevillan life...
Love yall, and promise I'm not staying out too late :)
