Seville Feria de Abril

Listed under Festivals in Seville, Spain.

The scent of flowers and tasty tapas hangs in the air and the bright frills of multi-coloured flamenco dresses ruffle amongst the legs of the crowd, as they flood the streets of Seville in an explosion of Spanish culture at the Feria de Abril.
