April 30–May 7: Feria del Caballo (horse pageantry)<---this event is intriguing to us - we may not arrive until late Fri. April 30th, do you have any tips that would optimize our two night stay in Seville?

Apart from all the usual tourist sights, you can explore the local atmosphere Triana district just across the city river Guadalquivir.

and see real deal flamenco in Flamenqueria by the river: http://www.flamenqueria.es/es/

Perhaps round off the night in one of the many flamenco bars in Triana: http://www.seville-traveller.com/fla...a-seville-bar/

... and there might be a fun performance in the Casa la Teatro, inside the Triana food market (stalls 10 and 11) at 8pm on the 30th. http://www.casalateatro.com/index.ph...a-espectalucos

Wake up late, stay out late.

Thank you for the links Kimhe �� and Mark for the advice ��

April 30 is a Saturday, not Friday, so you should have no problems.

Kimhe - thank you for resources
Mark - thank you the advice

Bedar, is there any festival events on Saturday?

The April Fair ends today. The Feria del Caballo you're referring to must be the one in Jerez, not Sevilla. It begins on the 30th and ends May 7.
