ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT annual fiestas returns to Torrevieja today. The Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair takes place in the city from Thursday 9th May and lasts all week, with celebrations concluding on the evening of Sunday 12th May 2024.
The local fair takes place each year, with traditional Spanish folk music, spectacular Sevillanas dancing performances, and a diverse assortment of gastronomic treats served under marquees (casetas) specially erected for the festival.
A program has been prepared with performances by local dance academies every night at 20:00 on a stage that will be mounted in the centre of the venue.
The musical atmosphere will be provided by a DJ who will entertain with the same music in all the booths.
Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair, Thursday 9th May to Sunday 12th May 2024
The fair is organised by Town Hall in association with local businesses, and for previous iterations of the Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair, the Council have been keen to promote the Fiesta to both residents and visitors to the Costa Blanca destination.
The Torrevieja May Fair won't be able to take place in the usual venue due to the continuing building works of the future Paseo del Mar leisure and retail complex in the port.
Instead, the fiesta takes place in Parque de la Estación and promises to fill the Mediterranean city with the sounds of traditional Sevillanas music. It's a cultural spectacle not to be missed.
Seven small booths decorated in an Andalusian style will be present with the local groups that usually participate in the fair.
The Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair takes place from Thursday 9th May to Sunday 12th May 2024.
