It is hard not to be captivated by Sevilla's exuberant atmosphere - stylish, confident, ancient and proud, yet also convivial, intimate and fun-loving. Its crowded center unfolds subtly as you wind your way through narrow streets and small squares. Its flamenco, bullfighting and nightlife are incomparable. Being out among its happy, celebratory crowds on a warm night is an unforgettable experience. Every April for more than a century, Sevilla has thrown one of Spain's biggest parties, the Feria de Abril. A couple of weeks before the feria, the city's Semana Santa (Holy Week) processions are among the most magnificent in Spain. To put it in one Spanish word, the city has alegría (joy); Sevillanos certainly know how to enjoy life!
