The month of January in Seville brings with it the flavor of the beginnings without letting go of some Christmas plans, the taste for sharing and attending the events of the season. And they are not few. 2025 starts with a large number of concerts, gastronomic events, premieres or suggestive getaways.
1. New Year’s Concert
What better way to start the year than attending the version of the popular New Year’s Concert in Vienna but with an Andalusian accent. As every year the Royal Symphony Orchestra of Seville offers a repertoire adjusted to the dates where Johann Strauss II usually stands out.
One of the best plans to start the month of January in Seville and welcome 2025. This year it will be held on January 3 and 4 at 8:00 pm at the Teatro de la Maestranza.

‘Navigalia, the magic is in the river’ kicked off on December 20 with six daily passes in the vicinity of the Muelle de la Sal.

11. Getaways: Andalusian dream villages
Andalusia keeps in its extension landscapes, villages and monuments of extraordinary beauty. Some enjoy the fame they deserve, many retain the surprise factor despite appearing on the podiums of the guides and others remain closely guarded secrets.

In this case, far from being rural mirages, we compile 5 unique jewels, Andalusian villages that seem to be taken (some literally) from a fairy tale. Perfect plans to start January with a smile.
