Anyone heading to Seville between March 18th and 21st 2011 can expect to see plenty of people celebrating Judaism, as the Purim Festival is due to take place.

The event looks set to attract hundreds of Jews from across Europe, with the European Centre for Jewish Students (ECJS) organising cultural trips as part of the proceedings.

Despite being a religious occasion, the festival offers plenty of entertainment, particularly at the fancy dress Purim on the Rocks party.

While Seville once had a major Jewish community, the Spanish Inquisition forced them - or their faith - into hiding.

But Purim Festival organiser Victoria Braham noted the contrast with how people of their faith are treated in the Andalusian city today.

She pointed out that they "will be able to celebrate the festival openly with pride, attesting to the fact that [the] Jewish spirit of Spain lives on".

Festivalgoers keen on finding accommodation in Seville for the event can use LateRooms.com to browse through a wide selection of options in the city, including the Hotel Don Paco Seville.

If people want more information about the occasion or wish to register, they should visit www.ecjs.org/.
