In this photo taken on Thursday April 23, 2020, women in traditional dress sing on their decorated balconies in the village of Mairena del Alcor, some 21 kilometres (13 miles) from Seville during the annual traditional April Fair celebrated across the southern Andulacia Provence. Without breaking the confinement rules and maintaining their distance from each other, the residents of the village have found a novel way of continuing the tradition of the fair which has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak and normally includes flamenco dancing, bullfighting, eating and drinking.
