The Sevillanas
Culture 09/10/2017
The Fair of Fuengirola continues this week as it is on until the 12th of October.
As we explained on Friday, during our special activity about the fair, the Fair of Fuengirola is one of the most important in Costa del Sol, and thinking about it is thinking about beautiful flamenco dresses and the sound of “sevillanas” playing in the background.
Although the “sevillanas” is a typical dancing and singing originally from Sevilla it is heard and danced in all fairs and festivals in Andalusia.
“Sevillanas” is divided in 4 parts and it is usually danced in pairs. The lyrics can talk about many different topics like everyday life or important religious and love events among many other things.
Its origin is set around the Catholic Monarchs times and nowadays it is the most danced regional dance in Spain and abroad.
If right now you are on holiday at Hotel Angela, your hotel in Fuengirola, and have not visited the fair yet, we recommend you do it as there is still plenty of time.
You will surely have fun there and might enjoy seeing locals dancing this mesmerising dance!
