ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT annual fiestas returns to Torrevieja next month. The Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair takes place in the city from Thursday 7th May and lasts all week, with celebrations concluding on the afternoon of Sunday 10th May 2026.
The local fair takes place each year, with traditional Spanish folk music, spectacular Sevillanas dancing performances, and a diverse assortment of gastronomic treats served under marquees (casetas) specially erected for the festival.
A program has been prepared with performances by local dance academies every night at 20:00 on a stage that will be mounted in the centre of the venue.
The musical atmosphere will be provided by a DJ who will entertain with the same music in all the booths.
The fair is organised by the Town Hall in association with local businesses, and, as with previous iterations of the Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair, the Council has been keen to promote the Fiesta to both residents and visitors to the Costa Blanca destination.
Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair, Thursday 7th May to Sunday 10th May 2026
The Torrevieja May Fair won't be able to take place in the usual venue due to the continuing (albeit almost complete) building works of the Paseo del Mar leisure and retail complex in the port.
Instead, the fiesta takes place in the Parque de Antonio Sòria adjacent to the market and Aquopolis water park. The fair promises to fill the Mediterranean city with the sounds of traditional Sevillanas music, and it's a cultural spectacle not to be missed.
Fifteen small booths decorated in an Andalusian style will be present, with the local groups that usually participate in the fair.
The Torrevieja Sevillanas Fair takes place from 21:00 on Thursday 7th May to Sunday 10th May 2026. Follow this link for more information from the official website.
