The Feria de Abril de Catalunya, an Andalusian tradition inspired by the one in Seville, has been held every year since 1971 around the last week of April, lasting ten days and drawing close to a million visitors. After passing through Castelldefels, Gavà, l'Hospitalet, el Prat, Barberà del Vallès and Santa Coloma de Gramenet, it has been held since 2004 in Parc del Fòrum, between Barcelona and Sant Adrià de Besòs, where every spring dozens of casetas are set up by Andalusian associations, parties, unions and other groups, serving fried fish, ham and rebujito. The site is known as el Real, a reference to the ral, the coin once used to pay for the carriage ride to the Seville fair. It is Catalonia's biggest gathering of Andalusian cuisine.
