Hello,
Planning a first-time trip to Andalucia this spring - including Cordoba and Sevilla. We were looking at early May but see that the Feria de Abril will be May 6-11. Does anyone have experience with this festival? I realize this is subjective, but would value any opinions on whether this would be a nice "bonus" to our trip, or so crowded and crazy that it should be avoided (e.g. IMO Notting Hill Carnivale)
Thanks!
Joy

ok so you know that the Ferias in Spain are nothing really like in the US.
They have Casetas that are basically families' living rooms moved to the fairgrounds. Most are private, you cannot enter. for the Sevilla feria, some are public - good discussion here on reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/Seville/comments/1ibwjqq/seville_in_early_may_for_the_f%C3%A9ria/
that said, i'm going in 2026 for the fair anyways. it's a great time.
