The 1992 Expo put Seville on the map. Andalucia had become poor and backward during the Franco era, and an injection of cash for new roads, a high-speed rail (AVE) linking Seville to Madrid and a new airport transformed the city.
Those from Seville, Andalucia or, in fact, anyone who really wants to enter into the spirit of the "feria" dress up in their finery, ideally the traditional "traje de corto" (short jacket, tight trousers and boots) for men and the "farales" (flamenco style dress) for the women.
The largest conference centre (or congress hall) in Andalucia is located in Sevilla Este, to the east of the main city, near the airport. It features an auditorium that seats over 3,000 people, and it also has numerous other meeting rooms, restaurants and bars. There are three exhibition halls of 7,200m2 each and an outside area of 65,000m2.
These walls date from 1135, the time of the Almoravides, and were strengthened by the Almohades in the 12th and 13th centuries.
The traje de flamenca, or flamenco dress, worn by women at the Feria is the only regional clothing that changes according to fashion – colour, length, neckline, sleeve type, spot size etc. The original dress is said to have had four ruffles. More about Dress for the Seville Feria.
There´s a saying that Sevillanos are so astonished the British actually want to use their bitter oranges to make marmalade, that they reckon the pith is secretly used to make gunpowder.
Seville is a city of dualities. If you´re a football fan, as many Sevillanos are, you´re either a betico or a sevillista, supporting Real Betis Balompie (green and white strip) or Sevilla Futbol Club (red and white).
