If there’s one thing that defines the Candlelight venues in Seville, it’s that they aren’t just concert halls
: they’re places with a history of their own. Like the Hotel Alfonso XIII, commissioned by the king himself for the 1929 Ibero-American Exposition. Or the Global Omnium Auditorium, an immersive, multisensory space inside the Seville Aquarium. There are many reasons why a Candlelight concert is worth attending
—such as the variety of tribute shows or the magic of live music
by candlelight—but the venues chosen are, without a doubt, one of the best.
