The Seville Fair is, a few days before its start, a reality full of rebujito and lanterns. The city celebrates one of its biggest events in the context of rising prices, which we drag since 2022. The prices of the Real during the Fair are increased, from the cost of lighting, assembly and musical groups to the membership fees and drinks.
In short, it is expected that the April Fair will be the most expensive in the history of Seville.
Prices of the pescaíto dinner at the Fair
Seville is dressed in lanterns for six days and the Real becomes the epicenter of a city made for the celebration. Although the consequences of the rise in basic foodstuffs such as flour, milk and oil will have to be regretted. So, how much will it cost to have a portion of friedfish this April Fair?
In economic terms, the starting signal, the traditional pescaíto dinner , will offer dishes of all kinds at least a couple of euros more expensive than in 2022. Thus, a portion of acorn ham can hardly be found for less than 20 euros.
The same happens with other typical dishes of the “casetas”. Namely: the ration of white prawns or clams can be consumed, although not in all booths, for 26 euros.
This edition continues to rise croquettes, which already raised its price to 11 euros. This 2024 those who order them will pay 12 euros for them and will do the same with the flamenquín.
For its part, the tortilla de patatas will be available for 7 and 8 euros and the montaditos for less than 4 euros.
Alcohol, fish and even glass have also increased their price and that will be reflected, in turn, in the bill that the diner will pay.
How much will a drink cost?
The same thing is happening with alcohol: prices have been increased to adapt to the increases and maintain a certain profit margin. Beer is already above 2 euros, compared to the euro and fifty from which it started in 2022 and 1.70 last year.
In many of the booths and the pitcher of rebujito, which could be consumed for 8 euros before the pandemic, will exceed 10 euros in 2022.
This year, ordering a rebujito at the April Fair will cost about 12 euros, similar to the prices of 2023 and 2024. Those who prefer manzanilla will be able to find it at around 9 euros for half bottles of 375 ml.
Regarding glasses, the rise in prices is also notable. If before the pandemic the average was 5 euros and in 2023 prices fluctuated between 6 and 7 euros, we will be paying around 7 euros or more in 2025, as was the case last year. Likewise, the price of a premium cocktail could reach 10 euros.
