Seville in December: Light, Tradition and Joy
From the end of November, Seville dresses for the occasion. The official Christmas lighting begins on 28 November, turning avenues like Avenida de la Constitución and squares such as Plaza de San Francisco into a festival of lights. The streets of Sierpes, Tetuán, and Plaza del Pan also glow with seasonal magic, creating the perfect atmosphere for strolling and savouring the city.
Throughout December, markets, nativity scenes, and shows make Seville an ideal destination for couples and families looking for a charming Christmas getaway. With mild temperatures (averaging 15–18 ºC during the day), it is easy to explore the city at a relaxed pace and enjoy the festive spirit.
7 Must-Do Plans to Enjoy Christmas in Seville
Walk Under the Lights of Avenida de la Constitución
Walking under the festive lights of this central avenue is an essential experience. The route between the Cathedral and the Archivo de Indias becomes a living postcard by nightfall. The decorations—among the most photographed in the city—enhance the historic architecture and awaken the holiday spirit.
Christmas Markets
Another must-see during the festive season is the Christmas markets. In Plaza Nueva, you'll find the traditional Crafts Market — perfect for picking up handmade gifts, festive decorations or local products.
Nativity Scene Trail: Tradition, Art and Emotion
Throughout December, Seville is home to countless nativity scenes located in churches, convents, cultural centres, and open-air spaces. From the monumental scene at City Hall to the displays at Fundación Cajasol, the Cathedral, and several museums, exploring the nativity trail allows you to immerse yourself in one of Seville’s most deeply rooted and artistic Christmas traditions. A magical experience for all ages.
A Walk Through Triana: Bridge, Art and Lights
Cross the Puente de Isabel II and get lost in the illuminated streets of Triana. In this historic neighbourhood, ceramics and flamenco blend with modern gastronomy. It’s the perfect evening stroll.
Christmas-Flavoured Tapas
In December, many bars feature seasonal tapas such as hearty stews, oxtail with sherry, and traditional sweets like polvorones and tortas de aceite. A tapas route through the historic centre—Mateos Gago, Plaza del Salvador, and Calle Regina—is a must for food lovers.
Flamenco with a Festive Twist
Check the December schedules at Teatro Quintero or Casa de la Memoria. Several venues host special shows, including flamenco "zambombas" where Andalusian carols are fused with soulful singing. An unforgettable, local experience.
Cathedral and Giralda: A Must-See Visit
No visit to Seville is complete without exploring the Cathedral and climbing the Giralda. During the holiday season, opening hours are usually extended, and the views from the top at sunset, with the city illuminated below, are simply breathtaking.

Practical Tips for Your Christmas Getaway to Seville
The Christmas lights are switched on from 28 November, signalling the start of the festive season. The first half of December is generally quieter, while the 24th, 25th and 31st see more events and larger crowds.
From the apartments, you can reach the city centre comfortably by bus or car. While Seville is a walkable city, traffic can increase during the festive season, so avoid peak hours in busy areas like Sierpes or Plaza Nueva.
The December weather is mild during the day but can get cool at night. Bring light winter clothing, a warm jacket, and comfortable shoes. To attend special shows, see nativity scenes or dine out during peak dates, it is wise to book in advance.
