Calle Feria, nerve center of the noble art of squeezing the street, infinite promenade in which projects with tradition and others housed in modernity are articulated. Fusions with the soul of the neighborhood that, why fool us, conquer anyone. Albertucho wanted to say, between veiled verses of spring, that in Feria Street you had to live Seville and in this article we dedicate ourselves to it in depth.
A crossing that condenses bars, terraces, squares, local stores, cafes and that neighborhood leisure that can only be known by stepping on these places. A more relaxed, authentic and unfiltered Seville that we discover below.

Thursday is the mass of the Sevillians and this market is synonymous with atmosphere in the vicinity of the Alameda. To think of Feria Street is to think of El Jueves and all its fauna.
Numismatics and stamp lovers gather along the street, although the offer is so varied that among the stalls it is not difficult to find flowers, paintings in relief, antique toys, key chains of Expo 92 or even busts of Christ. An obligatory stop for those who have come to Seville to spend a few days and happen to be in the city in the middle of the week.

When you penetrate a second-hand bookstore you soon start to acquire new qualities. Like accepting a basic principle of economics: to choose is to win and lose.

Getting lost, in any case, is an act of pure delight. The Baena bookstore is a small oasis of volumes, old books, magazines and who knows what other surprises.

13. San Juan de la Palma Church
Better known as Plaza de los botellines, it is the point where many streets with magic converge. Regina and its perfume of leather and coffee; Sor Ángela de la Cruz connecting with Gerona street and the spring-like Palacio de las Dueñas; and Viriato, the labyrinth that starts towards the Alameda.
Iron artisans settled here at the end of the 15th century and for this reason it is also known as the Plaza de la Herrería or Plaza de los Herreros. As for the botellines, popular epithet of the place, it responds to the exquisite custom that has been practiced here for a long time: to get some fresh ones in the small grocer’s shop of Joaquín.
Whatever you decide to call it, the Plaza de los Botellines continues to attract a varied cocktail of people with a common denominator: to keep alive this square at the beginning (or end) of Feria Street.
