Feria

Feria is the craziest most amazing thing I have ever seen. It makes me want to become Spanish, wear a flamenco dress, and learn to dance sevillano. I think the thing that is most amazing to me is how proud they are of where they live and their heritage. I mean, we have the 4th of July but that is for the whole country. We don’t even have enough history to celebrate, the US is too young. But here they have all of these traditions and customs. I love the way they all dress, the women in their flamenco dresses and the men in their short suits. I love how the whole world goes to the streets. I love how everyone is so happy and just having fun together. I love that the rest of the city just shuts down. I love all the horses and carriages parading through the streets, the people everywhere just watching and talking and dancing and drinking. I love how the tents are not just tents they look like actual houses. They are all decorated in different ways and it is just beautiful. Sevilla is great. End of story.
