![]() La Feria de Abril de Catalunya XXXIX Fira d'Abril de Catalunya. The 39th April Fair of Catalonia is from Friday 23rd April to Sunday 2nd May 2010 at the Forum park in the Diagonal Mar district of Barcelona. Music, food, dancing and a fun-fair.. it's worth a visit The Feria de Abril de Catalunya is a local Barcelona version of the renowned Andalusian ferias, the most famous of which is in Sevilla every year in April. While the Feria de Abril in Barcelona does not have such an impact on Barcelona as the Andalucian ferias in the south of Spain, it is undeniably a festive event and worth visiting. The Feria de Abril in Barcelona has two main areas. The amusement fairground which has a huge ferris wheel, candy-floss, shooting galleries and many other rides and amusements. This is on the seafront by the Forum bathing area to avoid problems with neighbours so there are spectacular coastal views from the Ferris wheel. The main attraction of the Feria de Abril de Catalunya are the many casetas,” which means “ little houses.” These are marquee tents temporarily built on the forum fairground area. There are usually around between 60 and 70 casetas in the Feria de Abril de Cataluña, which belong to many different organisations and groups from banks to political parties and private organisations. In each one you will find a happy crowd who are eating, partying, singing and dancing "Sevillanas", the traditional dance of Andalucia. Everyone joins in the dancing, from the youngest of grandchildren to the oldest of grandparents and the atmosphere is fantastic. Many of the dancers wear traditional costumes for the Feria which adds colour and festivity. The men wear the traditional "traje de corto" (short jacket, tight trousers and boots)and the ladies wear "faralaes" or "trajes de flamenco," which is a flamenco style dress. For sustenance between dances, the the big Spanish families sit at long tables and enjoy an abundance of Jerez sherry, or manzanilla wine, and tapas. Other big draws to the La Feria de Abril de Catalunya events are the many concerts with famous Spanish singers and bands .
