What October is like in Seville
October brings pleasant walking weather back, with highs near 79F (26C) and cooler nights. The summer heat is gone, the light is golden, and crowds are moderate. In even-numbered years, the Bienal de Flamenco continues into the month. Late October is excellent, with prices well below spring and every sight running normal hours.
It suits nearly everyone: families, couples, and homeschool groups who want the Alcazar and cathedral without spring crowds. The only travelers who should look elsewhere are those set on seeing Semana Santa or the Feria, which belong to spring. If the first week is still too warm for you, aim for the second half.
Make the most of October
What is especially good about Seville this month.
Walking weather returns

Casa de Pilatos without the crowds
This noble palace mixes Mudejar and Renaissance styles, and it is often calmer than the Alcazar.

- Light layers for warm days and cool nights
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Sunglasses and sunscreen
- A light jacket for evenings
Our timing tip
Aim for the second half of October for the most comfortable temperatures, and book the Alcazar a week or two ahead.

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.
