The April Fair is a highly anticipated event for the people of Seville, but now Tenerife is also gearing up for the festivities. Over 4,000 individuals attended last year’s inaugural edition of the April Fair in La Laguna, and this year’s celebration has started since Friday.
The Las Mantecas park is set as the venue of this fantastic event, offering free entrance from the 26th of April until the 28th. The opening ceremony was held yesterday evening, kicking off three days of entertainment where “nothing will be missing”.
The Fair features performances by renowned flamenco and sevillanas artists. Guests can also explore stalls offering traditional Andalusian cuisine and delightful surprises.
