Feria de Abril fills Seville's 275,000-square-meter fairground with 1,049 casetas, hosting week-long sevillana dancing, fino sherry drinking, and flamenco finery. This Andalusian spectacle, rooted in 1847, attracts 500,000 visitors daily. It is faster-paced than the typical street festival, with 40+ horse parades each day. No other entry—including #5 San Fermín—features 1,000+ private tents, emphasizing social exclusivity. A concrete figure: 1 million glasses of sherry are consumed during the week, 30% more than at Festa di San Gennaro's wine consumption. The festival generates €200 million for Seville's economy, outperforming the average regional festival by 150%.
