- A two-week celebration in Seville, Spain, starting two weeks after Semana Santa.
The fair centers around the fairground in the south of Seville with many and varied amusement stands and food stalls. Another feature is the famous casetas. These are wooden houses that serve as private places in which the peña, clubs formed by people taking part in the fair, gather to dance, sing, eat and drink.

- The most famous celebrations of Holy Week in the Spanish-speaking world are held in Seville. Lay brotherhoods, cofradías, process through the city in huge parades between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. Costaleros bear the pasos, huge floats carrying religious figures made of painted wood. Others, nazarenos (Nazarenes) and penitentes (penitents) walk alongside the pasos, in their distinctive costumes. During the processions they sing saetas, flamenco verses mourning Christ's passion. The Seville celebrations date back to the sixteenth century.
