Although most of the casetas (casetas large photo) are private, hosted by Sevillana families and clubs, there are also some public ones that you can visit. These are usually run by political parties and local authorities. Their look is usually less charming, composed of the basic elements only, without too much decoration, but you get the taste of the Dry Fino Sherry, the Manzanilla from Sanlucar and the popular dishes of fried fish and Iberian cold meats.

At sunset, the riders and coachmen leave the Feria with their horses. Thousands of paper lanterns and bulbs illuminate the streets and casetas of the village filled with outgoing people making friends, singing, dancing, eating and drinking. The public casetas close at three, but for the private casetas the opening hours are more flexible, depending on the mood of the hosts.
