What November is like in Seville
November is mild, with highs near 68F (20C) and some rain. The city is comfortable, calm, and cheaper, and it is one of the best-value months of the year. Lines at the Alcazar and cathedral are short, and the terraces are still pleasant in the afternoon sun. Late in the month, the Christmas nativity markets and lights begin to appear.
It suits budget travelers, couples, and families who want comfortable sightseeing without crowds. It is less ideal for anyone who wants warm evenings outdoors or a guaranteed dry week. If you want warmth and more reliable sun, late October is a safer choice.

Things to do in Seville
Real Alcazar
A royal palace still in use, with extraordinary Mudejar halls and gardens. Book timed tickets well ahead in spring.
Seville Cathedral and the Giralda
The largest Gothic cathedral in the world, with Columbus's tomb and ramps to the top of the tower.
Plaza de Espana
The grand tiled semicircle in Maria Luisa Park. Early morning and late afternoon light are best, and cooler.
Metropol Parasol (Las Setas)
The giant wooden canopy with a rooftop walkway. Go at sunset for the view over the old town.
Casa de Pilatos
A beautiful noble palace mixing Mudejar and Renaissance styles, often less crowded than the Alcazar.
Triana and flamenco
Cross the river for ceramics workshops, the market, and evening flamenco shows.
Beat the crowds
- Book the Alcazar's first entry slot and the cathedral right after opening. Tour groups build by 10:30am.
- Plan around Holy Week and the Feria if you do not want them. The weeks just before or after offer the same spring weather at far lower prices.
- Eat and move on Spanish time: sights in the morning, rest in the afternoon heat, and tapas from 8:30pm or later.
- Stay in Triana or near the Alameda rather than directly in Santa Cruz for quieter nights and more local bars.
Know before you go
- Many shops close in the afternoon, roughly 2pm to 5pm, and reopen into the evening. Big chains and the main sights stay open through the day.
- In August, some family-run restaurants and shops close for a week or more while owners take holidays.
- During Holy Week, procession routes block streets and some sights change hours. The cathedral has special schedules.
- During the Feria, many local businesses keep short hours because the city is at the fairground.
