Gipsy women during feria de abril in Sevilla.
Feria de abril (also known as Feria de Sevilla) is a festival that takes place every year in April in Sevilla. It used to be a horse market but it slowly developed into a mainly eating, drinking and dancing festival.
It starts on Monday evening two weeks after Easter and finishes on Sunday. If these 2 weeks would mean it would start in May it is brought forward. People go to these big tents and eat tapas, drink (everything but mainly rebujitos - which is dry manzanilla wine with 7 Up) and dance Sevillanas - a simplier version of flamenco.
Many women dress in Flamenco dresses (you can see behind these gipsy ladies).
The busiest times are always at night from 10 PM to 5 AM but you could say it is open 24/7.
During the last weekend it gets super busy and is said that up to 1 million people come to the festival in 1 day.

Hello Ondrej,
this is a very interesting and colourful iamge with lots of detail to see.Pity about the bins you they are necessary at these big gatherings.
This reminds me of Appleby Horse fair which takes part in Cumbria, England each year. Gypsy people (they prefer to be called Romanies in the UK)trade horses and meet up for a good time.
regards
Bev
