Feria 2012 - Salvador Church portada

Spring is Seville’s fiesta season, and after the solemnity of Semana Santa, in late April it’s the turn of the Feria de Abril. With its casetas (small marquees), horses and carriages, singing and dancing, and colourful flamenco costumes, it’s probably the most famous fair in Spain, and every year the portada (the gateway to the fair) illustrates some aspect of the life and culture of the city.

This year’s is a representation of the façade of the Salvador Church, in celebration of the 300th anniversary of its completion.

You can experience Spain’s most famous fair and live like a local with a great view of the Salvador Church from our beautiful Salvador Terrace apartment. The Plaza Salvador is also a lively spot to enjoy a tapa and a cold Cruzcampo beer out in the sunshine.

It’s been a very rainy Semana Santa in Seville, but the sun is shining today and it looks like all the processions will be going out, including one of the most popular, the Macarena, starting at midnight.

In the meantime, you can watch our video of the Macarena barrio:

The Making Of The Granada Videos

Leave a reply

Here are some photos from our recent trip to Granada to photograph and film apartments, the city and its monuments, and tapas bars. The photo above shows the setting where we shot the introduction for the two videos of Alhambra. The builders were just amazing with us: they kindly let us in and stopped working for nearly half an hour so we could have the best possible sound conditions for the videos. A BIG thank you to all.

I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Gabrielle for her wonderful work as a presenter of veoapartment.com. It is an honour to be both her workmate and also good friends.
