The origins of the Fair of April are in the 25 August 1846 when Narciso Bonaplata and José María de Ybarra wrote up a proposal who took to the Municipal Town hall requesting that they authorized to him during days 19, 20 and 21 of April to celebrate an annual fair, permission that was granted to them after “strips and you relax” with the mayor Conde de Montelirio, that thought that already other two very next fairs existed, the cattle dealer of Mairena del Alcor (at the moment it is not what was) and the one of the horse of Jerez de la Frontera, that would guard the success that promised both organizing. In March of 1847, queen Isabel II later granted to Seville the fair privilege, being celebrated a month first of the city with the duration of the three expressed days. The last queen did not visit the fair until years, in 1877, being her companion Ybarra mayor.

The Municipal Town hall saw that the idea of the Basoue and the Catalan were good and in addition was secundada by numerous cattle dealers and agriculturists. There it is when the first Sevillian Fair of April begins.

The first cattle fair was located in the Prado de San Sebastián, in those times this space was in the outskirts, in the present is one of the most centric places of the capital, elbowing itself with the Tobacco Factory (present University of Seville) that was the only building that was raised by those dates, much more behind schedule would build the Plaza de España and also the monument to Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, “the Valiant Cid” (El Cid). It told on a total of 19 houses and was so great the achieved success that few years later, in 1950, it was necessary to separate what was the merchandise of the cattle and the space for the diversion.

Seeing the success of his first eves, the City council one was forced to be extending the celebration place and the publicity of the occasion, in 1890 is published the first announcing official poster of the fair, in 1910 spread divulging pamphlets.

Year 1914 the three days become five, the addition of the sixth day of fair would take place in 1952.

As of the decade of 1920 the fair begins to seem to which is now, an artificial and ephemeral city of only days of duration where houses for the rejoicing of foreign and native, selling, juerguistas, peculiar the visitors, famous artists settle and.

During years the enclosure of the fair was known like “la Pasarela”, due to an existing structure that was used to cross the street, until the year 1973 that was precise to relocate the houses by the different demands, of feriantes, organisms and public, the space remained small and its place of establishment was the district of Los Remedios, an almost rectangular zone with a measurement of 1.5 km by 600 ms, with own name the “Real de la Feria”, with streets that were baptized with names of bullfigthers of all the times, adorned of farolillos of different colors that illuminate the dark of the fair when it falls the night.

As the fair does not let “grow” hopes that in a next term it changes from location to a place of greater dimensions again, it studies that it is what is known like the Charco de la Pava.

Ephemeral city

Each 1 January of every year begins the ritual for the construction of this small city of friends and diversion, businesses and relations with the putting of the first tubes that serve to raise the structure of the official door of entrance to the fair, the “cover”, place of encounter of most of Sevillian and foreign public, whom it has to be finished and exposed precise like a clock the day of the inauguration of the celebration.

The inclemency of meteorology

It is “but” of the Fair, there is no year that does not rain, plus others less, few have been the years that the Fair of April has gotten rid of these waters given by skies of Seville (years that the ardent temperature also made damage), some stormy others not as much, and as all rains fallen in spring, more exactly, in the month of April, most of the times, of sporadic form, alternating itself with the exits of sun when the clouds are travelling, and at the same time with suffocating temperatures, although the night does not change, due to the station of the year that we are continue being frozen by much heat that has undergone the visitor of the Fair. Year 2006 had a previous one of surprising Fair, a hailstorm like which did not fall in many years in the city, unloaded on Seville, interrupting the bullfight of bulls that was celebrated at that precise moment and suppressing an important soccer match for the league, to the time that flooded very many zones of the city and province. All feared that outside the “stamp” of the Fair that they already had in the stop.
