The Andalusian capital is waiting for the event on tenderhooks, not only due to the fact that they have been given the honour of hosting the oldest international championship, but also due to the fact that Spain is one of the finalists in question, as well as Argentina.

However, the Holy Week festivities in the Andalusian capital are by far the best and the most elaborate in the region as the city, renowned for having some devout catholic residents, really marks this special occasion. It comprises one of the most important weeks on their calendar and some of the most famous religious celebrations in the country.

We are still in the midst of Christmas celebrations, the New Year is approaching, and Kings’ Day is still on the agenda which is when the Spanish exchange gifts unlike in England where the main celebrations take place on Christmas Day. However, Seville the city that likes a good fiesta has other events lined up following the end of festive season. Not quite the big party you were expecting (they’re saving that for April) but still interesting and a good excuse to go shopping. We are referring to none other than the second edition of the Seville Antiques Fair taking place this February in the Fibes Seville Conference and Exhibition Centre.
