About Seville
Seville, the sun-drenched capital of Andalusia, is a city defined by its passionate flamenco, Moorish architecture, and some of the hottest temperatures in Europe. Located in southern Spain, Seville has a Mediterranean climate with African influences, making it a year-round destination—though the experience varies wildly by month. While cities like Bilbao in the north offer a 'Green Spain' escape, Seville is the heart of the traditional Spanish experience. Spring (March–May) is the undisputed peak season, centered around major religious and cultural festivals. Autumn (September–October) provides a pleasant shoulder season for those who want to avoid the summer heat that often surpasses 40°C (104°F). Whether you are pairing your trip with a visit to Madrid's museums or the coastal vibes of Malaga, understanding Seville's unique seasonal rhythm is essential for the best experience.
