Feria de Abril

Every year, Feria de Abril is held in Sevilla (southern Spain).  This is basically the April fair.  It is held in the end of April, about two weeks after Easter.  It lasts for six days, during which people don't go to work.  Tents are set up by different organizations, like political parties and charitable groups, as well as just restaurants where you can eat and where people dance flamenco.

Barcelona also hosts a Feria de Abril.  There is a carousel, flamenco dancing, food stands, stands selling homemade foods, and there are also some souvenir stalls.  It is a very cool experience.
