As the Seville Fair approaches, Juan Enrique Román Cabrerizo, known on social media as Brioche Enfurecida, has used his Instagram profile (@brioenfurecida) to address the perception of elitism often associated with this celebration. His message emphasizes that the Fair is not a recent invention but a cultural manifestation deeply rooted in the city's history.

Brioche's reflection extends beyond controversy, focusing on how the Feria de Abril fosters a sense of identity and belonging. Elements such as childhood, family, and shared identity are, for him, the pillars of this key event in the Sevillian calendar. The city transforms with a vibrant atmosphere, full of joy and the taste of rebujito, starting with the Noche del Pescaíto and lasting for a week, connecting Seville with its roots.

The author of books like Las princesas van a la universidad and El oráculo de Brioche, originally from San Fernando (Cádiz) but residing in the Andalusian capital, highlights Seville's deep connection to its traditions. He acknowledges that, for newcomers to Andalusia, the intensity of celebrations like Semana Santa or the Fair itself can initially be striking.

However, Brioche argues that these customs, which might seem trivial at first glance, are fundamental for building a sense of belonging that distinguishes the community. He also debunks the idea that the Fair is exclusive to an economic elite, questioning the definition of "posh" and pointing out that traditional attire, such as the suit jacket, can equalize people regardless of their social status.

Finally, the influencer emphasizes the beauty and festive atmosphere of the Fair, which contribute to uplifting the spirits of those who enjoy it, solidifying its importance as one of Seville's most significant events.
