Feria de San Miguel
Location: Feria Grounds (Los Remedios)
Dates: 22 - 24 Sep
For many years - about 30, actually - this fair was put on hold in Seville,
until it's revival in 2001. Now 4 years strong, the Feria de San Miguel in Seville
is an attraction which has a strong draw both inside and outside of Spain. The
site is the Feria grounds, where the more famous Feria de Abril is held every
year. And in some respects this is mini-Feria de Abril, complete with attractions,
horses, music, food and dance. There are two bullfights scheduled for the 23rd
and 24th as well. In keeping with it's origins the fair has much to do with
cattle, with a strong presence of ganaderos.
Festival
de las Naciones
Location: Parque Maria Luisa - Plaza
de America
Dates: 30 Sep - 1 Nov
After
a year on the other side of the river, the Festival returns to Parque Maria
Luisa. This time around the Festival de las Naciones in Sevilla will be in it's
12th year. The Festival runs for over a month, from the beginning of October
to early November. You
can sample different foods at the various stands. Almost all include seating
and table service, if you can get a table. Also part of the Festival are musical
and dance performances as well as plenty of small shops where you can "shop
by country". More information on my page
dedicated to the festival.

Cine
de Verano
Locations: Patio de la Diputación,
Alameda, Buhaira and CC. San Pablo
Dates: July to beginning of September
A
cheap way to enjoy a movie (2€), with semi-recent releases and films from
around the world. All in an outdoor setting complete with a bar, popcorn,
hot dogs, sandwiches, tapas, beer and drinks. Cines de verano, what
amounts to an outdoor screening, are a part of summer in Seville. Take your
pick from 4 locations around the city. I really love these and the ability to
get up and stretch your legs without missing any of the action. It's like a
drive-in without the cars.
XIII
Bienal de Flamenco

concerts should be even more crowded. Paco de Lucia is just one of the big names
