Each spring, the historic town of Alcúdia on Mallorca's northern coast bursts into life with the colours, rhythms, and flavours of southern Spain during its annual Feria de Abril. Scheduled for 22 - 24 May 2026, this beloved festival transforms the town into a lively Andalusian enclave, offering an immersive cultural experience for locals and visitors alike.

The Feria de Abril originated in Seville in 1847 as a livestock fair, evolving over time into a grand celebration of Andalusian culture, complete with flamenco dancing, traditional attire, and festive casetas (tents). Alcúdia embraced this tradition in the mid-2010s, with the first editions held in early May. Since then, the fair has become a staple of the town's cultural calendar, drawing thousands of attendees each year.
What to Expect in 2026
The 2026 edition promises to be as enchanting as ever, featuring a rich programme of music, dance, gastronomy, and community spirit:
Live Performances: Enjoy traditional flamenco shows, sevillanas, and contemporary acts. Previous years have featured groups like Rumba Kings and artists such as Queco Arjona.
Gastronomic Delights: Savour Andalusian specialties like pescaito frito, tapas, and churros, offered by local restaurants participating in the fair.
Cultural Activities: Experience the Solemne Missa Rociera, a traditional mass accompanied by the Coro Rociero de Mallorca, and other cultural showcases that highlight the rich heritage of Andalusia.
Family-Friendly Atmosphere: The fair is designed for all ages, with activities and entertainment suitable for families and children.
