Locally known as the Feria de Sevillanas, the event celebrates the traditional dance and folk music of the Sevillanas, a type of muscial and dance style originating in Seville and its region.

Derived from the Seguidilla, an old Castilian folk music and dance genre, the Sevillanas were influenced by Flamenco during the nineteenth century, and Sevillanas dancing and the music remains a popular tradition to this day.

Local Valencian and Spanish cuisine forms a large part of each Sevillanas fair, and this year proves no exception, with 28 specialty food marquees filling the Torrevieja marina area, each serving freshly prepared local food.
