Seville Feria 2014
 
Does anyone know when the Seville Feria is scheduled for 2014? The Andalusia.com website says it is May 5-10 but when I check for some apartment rentals, the rate goes up 60% during April 28-May 4 which suggests it is at that time.

If you are confused, and who isn't, you can read the announcement regarding the dates for La Feria de Sevilla de 2014 here:

Robert thanks for the link but I can't understand it since it is in Spanish. It seems to be indicating it is in May but not sure if it starts in May or not.

Because of the late start of Holy Week, the mayor of Sevilla has set the date of the feria to begin two weeks after Easter, which pushes feria into May. Feira is supposed to start two weeks after Easter, thus the shift to May for the April Fair. As the mayor said, it's happened before.
