1. Candlelight Concerts

Throughout the month of January you have several unmissable dates with music and always by the hand of Candlelight. We detail them below.

2. April Fair
Fiesta of International Tourist Interest and an event for Sevillians, national and foreign tourists and neighbors of the province and surroundings, the April Fair of Seville will be celebrated this 2024 in style. An event with a huge economic weight and one of the greatest intangible attractions of the city.
Farolillos, rebujito, albero, sevillanas and an alumbrao that goes around the world are some of the elements that make up this big week in the city. So that you do not miss anything, we offer you this guide of the April Fair of Seville 2024 with all the information that you can not miss.
3. Candlelight Spring
Spring emerges in all its splendor from the hand of Candlelight with special concerts for the season. Following the same dynamics of their other events, this time the chosen stages will be full of candles and hundreds of flowers.
On April 12, the Aquarium of Seville will host a tribute to the best of ABBA by the Cuarteto Bruma.
4. Taste the best torrijas of Seville
This seasonal sweet is a delicacy that encourages thousands of Sevillians and tourists to skip the diet. And it is enough to take a bite of one to lose your senses.
In Seville we have torrijas in hundreds of styles, flavors, for all budgets and in any environment. So that you can think about where to try them, we have prepared a route so that you can taste this delicacy wherever you are. One of the plans that can not miss this April in Seville.
5. Souk in Maria Luisa Park
On the third Sunday of every month, a hundred stalls come together in the Parque de María Luisa to make this Sunday souk a must-see. Dropping by this market is by all means one of the best weekend plans under the protection of the sun.
Specifically, this March it will take place on the 31st between 11:00 and 15:00 hours.
6. Seville Opera Nights
Seville has recovered in 2024 the ambitious musical cycle ‘Sevilla Opera Nights’. It is an activity of the hand of the Association of Palace Houses of Seville with Engranajes Culturales and Classical Passion & More.
For the month of March there are scheduled some of these events lavished in valuing the nexus between opera and these iconic spaces of Seville. Namely:
- Don Giovanni at the Casa de Salinas (April 28 at 21:00 hours).
- Carmen at the Palacio de las Dueñas (April 27 at 21:00 pm)
- The Barber of Seville, at the Hospital de la Caridad (April 26 at 21:00 hours).
7. Cherry and almond blossom fields in Andalusia
The almond and cherry tree fields also bloom in Andalusia along idyllic terrains. Living, visiting or touring Andalusia is a pleasure at any time of the year, but it is no less true that spring here is synonymous with life in the streets, pleasant temperatures and light for many hours.
Enjoying these images is possibly one of the best plans to enjoy the nature of Seville and its surroundings this March.
8. Mr. Crab, the new Sol Repsol of Seville
On March 4 took place the gala of the Repsol Suns Guide in Cartagena and from it came a new gastronomic recognition for Seville.
Of the new reference restaurants included in this culinary vademecum, Mr. Crab has been the only one distinguished with a Sun of the whole province. A space with Andalusian seal headed by chef Jesús León and sommelier Fátima Villanueva that will delight your April in Seville as one of the infallible plans.
9. Possible Guinness record for dancing sevillanas
The Seville Fair is able to receive hundreds of people dancing in their booths in the Real, although Cordoba is the capital that currently holds the record. With 1,556 participants, the city that houses the Mosque also has this curious certification.
In order for Seville to overcome this historic challenge, Lagoh has invited anyone who wants to participate in this event that will take place on April 7 as one of the best pre-fair plans. We tell you the requirements and other details in our article.
10. Flamenco Masterclass
Enjoy a flamenco class and learn this beautiful art from the Dance Studio “A Compás”, located in the heart of downtown Seville. Thanks to its two professional teachers, Elisa La Morá or Diaa Homsy, you will understand flamenco dance in depth, its codes and its nature.
First, you will enter the world of flamenco through rhythm by learning how to do ‘palmas’. Then, you will learn simple footwork steps and traditional movements. Finally, you will perform a small basic choreography.
11. Murder Mystery
A crime has been committed at the Casa de la Memoria in Seville. The singer Carmen García has been found dead in her dressing room minutes before her performance. And you, dear reader, will be part of the investigation team. Murder Mystery is a life-size mystery game in which you will have to look for clues, interrogate suspects, analyze the crime scene…

12. Terraces with scandalous views
In Seville there are terraces even under the stones and they are always full. There is something for everyone, from the most cosmopolitan to the most bohemian and all of them have that something that makes us happy (we are also invaded by that curious effect called “postureo”). The “terraceo a la sevillana” is an anthropological necessity and today we discover the best terraces of Seville so you don’t lose the habit.
13. Guided visit to the Palacio de Dueñas
14. Hiking in the Sierra Norte
Seville is an expert in surprising us and the Sierra Norte is not far behind. April brings with it an undoubtedly spring-like stamp that motivates excursions, getaways and, of course, hiking trails. Seville is full of charming municipalities in the heart of the Sierra with incredible routes. Undoubtedly, one of the best plans to enjoy the month of April in Seville.
