About this audio guide
This guide to Mercado de Feria in Seville follows a documented start in 1719, when the city council rented ground for bread, meat and fish, against a Thursday street trade locals insist began centuries earlier, maybe before Seville itself fell in 1248. It traces the flea market known as El Jueves, where guitars, flamenco vinyl and faded feria posters change hands every Thursday morning. No document settles which claim is true.
