Location: El Real de la Feria, Seville, Spain
Dates: Two weeks after Semana Santa (the week leading up to Easter Sunday)
Level of Participation: 3 – you won’t be able to get into most casetas, but there are enough public tents to compensate

Southwest of the city centre, the open area of El Real de la Feria morphs into a temporary tent city containing around 1000 casetas (brightly striped tents), and such is the demand for tents, there’s talk of moving the fair to a larger space at the Expo ’92 site."
