What to Do in Seville in Spring: Semana Santa & Feria de Abril and more…..
Spring in Seville is not just a season—it’s a transformation. The whole city becomes a stage, a festival, a dream.
First, Semana Santa (Holy Week). The silence, the scent of incense, the candlelit processions—it’s not something you watch, it’s something you feel. Even if you’re not religious, it’s impossible not to be moved.
Then, just two weeks later, Feria de Abril. Suddenly, the city explodes with color. Flamenco dresses swirl, horses parade through the fairgrounds, and every caseta (tent) is full of music, dancing, and rebujito (a dangerously easy-to-drink cocktail of sherry and soda).
