Yep, the Feria is STILL here.
On Friday night I went to the Feria with some crazy americans. We started a conversation with a group of Spanish people and hung out with them for the night. It's always good to meet new Spanish people, since we spend most of our time hanging out with Americans. They said they would take us to a Caseta but instead we walked around the streets and to a hamburger stand. It got very late so I headed home without actually making it to said caseta. Nevertheless It was really fun. Even late at night, with younger crowds, there are still groups of people singing Sevillanas and dancing in the streets.
Saturday. I sat on the new and improved Asuncion [that street has been under construction forever but now it is all pedestrian and beautiful!] and read my literature book and watched the flamenco dresses go by. Then I met my friend Vanessa and we went to the Feria. They say that the Feria is less authentic now because the people from Sevilla have gone to the beach and the people from outside have come in. We stopped by a few public tents and I danced Sevillanas with a Spanish women, but some of the parts she did completely differently from the way I learned them. We then returned to the country club caseta, where my tutoring family let us into the adult section. It was very swank yes, but not as lively. We ordered the ever famous churros con chocolate.
They say the Feria is very expensive, but it can also be very free. It depends on who you are. I, for example, went to the feria for four full days and spent 4.50 Euros on churros, juice, and a flower for my hair.
Sunday: Today is the last day of Feria and it ends with fireworks which I am currently waiting to go see. I went to a new church today in the evening. It was very far away, more contemporary, and full of Americans. Everything was in Spanish, but it was very easy to understand and the preacher knew English as well. My favorite part was the music. It was lively and it's always fun to sing in Spanish.
Today was a good day.
