Ferias

Every village, town and city in Andalucia has it's annual feria, a time for everyone to let their hair down and party until the early hours of the morning.

The local council allocates a fund dedicated to this event, some of them are grand affairs which go on for a week or more, others are a little more rustic, but all of them are great fun and a chance to sample the true feeling of southern Spain.

The main feria season runs from April until October and here are some of the dates for events in nearby towns and villages.
