The popular May Sevillana fair in Torrevieja was postponed this year due to licence problems, and will now be held from 11th to 15th October.

They set up a small village of tents - casitas - bu the carpark/funfair in Torrevieja each serving typical Andalucian food and most with a dance area, also a large stage area for dance and music shows.
Then first two days they have parades of horses and wagons and many people wear Sevillana costumes.
Its a smaller copy of the April fair they have in Seville.

Martin,

Could you elaborate on the fair's location? I'm not sure from your description, where it will be.

Well I'm assuming it will be where it has always been, but I know there were other thoughts.
In which case it is by the carpark at the port in Torrevieja - marked in red on map.

Hi Martin,
Do you know what time approximately the event starts? We went to the actual Sevilla Feria once and it was a fabulous experience, eventually, but on the day we went it didn't get started until later in the day and we had a lot of waiting around.

Thanks.
