Feria in Seville, there is nothing like it. Honestly I can't think of anything in America that comes close to Feria. The entire city comes together and networks for an entire week. Nobody works. Instead they relax in their private casetas (tents) and drink, dance, and talk with friends and family. Every woman, girl, child, and baby had on a matching dress, shoes, shaw, earrings, and flower or comb in their hair. The colors of the dresses were rich and stunning. When you break it down, it was basically a big state fair but when you experience it for yourself it is something much more authentic.
Here are the few photos i took of my brief Feria experience as well as another night at La Carboneria for some bangin flamenco. Enjoy.
I know I promised an update but it's so hard staying indoors and writing a blog entry for three hours when I could be outside reading, walking, running, or eating my meals on my step. I've missed the sun for three months so now i don't want to waste a minute of it. Everyone has noticed my change in skin color hehe. Give me another half week and I'll stubbornly sit down and write about Barcelona and Feria. Madre mia! :)
