Seville may not be a beachfront paradise but it offers, despite the promise of a hot summer, more than acceptable alternatives to enjoy the month of July. Firstly, because the city empties quite a lot during the summer season and, secondly, because it is very close to two dream destinations. Be that as it may, these plans will delight anyone who is in Seville this July 2025.
1. Candlelight Concerts
After the success of previous editions of Candlelight, the year begins with an exquisite selection of concerts in an incomparable space. Throughout the month you have several unmissable dates with music and always by the hand of Candlelight. We detail them below.

2. Jazz at the CAAC
Cultural spaces such as the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo make their facilities available for a lively summer program. This includes, as has become a tradition, the jazz festival held every Tuesday in July and August.
This year 2025 concerts are scheduled for July 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 and for the nights of August 5, 12 and 19, 2025.
3. A water park one hour from Seville
Summer extends, as tradition dictates, with the inseparable company of water parks. Just one hour from Seville is Aqualand Bay of Cadiz with ten attractions and a restaurant area. Among the attractions, Zero Gravity (a high-speed ride), Tsunami (a 150-meter tubular slide) or Cola del Diablo (a blind ride) stand out, for those who want strong emotions; but also Congo River, Rapids, Crazy Race… and two areas for the little ones: Children’s Paradise and Family Adventure Land.
4. The best plans for July at Velá de Santa Ana 2025
After a successful last edition after the absence of this festival for two years, the Velá de Triana returns this 2024 from July 20 to 26. For the occasion, the neighborhood will recover its radiant summer look with a wide range of activities, which will not be limited to the days of the festival.
The program includes its popular Cucaña, sports competitions, concerts in the Plaza del Atozano or pottery markets. Triana will be decked out in lights, lanterns and booths to once again host the Velá de Triana, this traditional event whose origins date back to an ancient pilgrimage.
5. Iconic Santalucía Sevilla Fest
One of the most dynamic summer plans in Seville is Icónica Fest, which extends during the month of July its list of concerts. In fact, until the 14th great artists will animate the monumental Plaza de España.
In addition, Javi Abascal has installed an ephemeral restaurant that brings together the goodness of Lalola, Lieva and Italica to taste to the rhythm of the music.
6. Alcazar Nights
Along with its dramatized visits at sunset, the series of concerts Nights in the Gardens of the Royal Alcazar, which celebrates its XXVI edition, has been held for another year.
What is one of the main cultural events of the summer in Seville offers on this occasion a program that will run until mid-September until September 20.

Hundreds of beaches meander along the coast of Andalusia and many of them are known to be the best in the country. Crystal clear waters, sunsets that bid farewell to the day with all the luxury of colors, wild, virgin oases and that sun that tastes like pure summer.
Andalusia reserves some of the best beaches of the Peninsula, paradises that we discover at the dawn of the summer season.
8. Nocturnal visits to the roofs of the Cathedral.
Going up to the roofs of the Cathedral is one of the most surprising cultural routes in Seville, even for the Sevillians themselves. In this case, the Cabildo offers visitors this panoramic view of the entire city through the history of the construction of this temple.
9. Dramatized visits to the Real Alcazar
The Real Alcázar of Seville joins the upcoming summer activities in the city and prepares a new cycle of dramatized night visits.
The appointment is in charge of the Classic Theater Company of Seville, which has prepared a visit on texts by Alfonso Zurro around the 500th anniversary of the marriage between Emperor Charles V and Isabella of Portugal , which, moreover, took place precisely in the Real Alcázar of Seville.
10. Municipal swimming pools in Seville
The swimming pools of Seville depend on the centers of the Municipal Sports Institute (IMD), which has already reopened some of its facilities. We review schedules and prices of the most outstanding pools in the province so that this summer you do not suffer from heat.
11. Summer cinemas are back in Seville
Summer reserves the nights to offer the most refreshing plans and promises a traditional attraction designed for all profiles. The thought of pipes, small packets and folding chairs takes us directly to the summer cinemas, magnetic and incombustible year after year.
Lovers of the seventh art are in luck with the arrival of the first summer programs, but so are those who like to chat in the cool and take a good pipe to the gullet, projection through.
The Sevillian sky will be witness of this cinematographic season by the hand of these summer cinemas in the neighborhoods of Seville and nearby municipalities.

14. Evening of the Year V by Ibai Llanos
The confirmation of the artists invited to the Velada del Año V of Ibai Llanos, along with the new location and the boxers who will face this edition, is one of the issues that arouses greater interest among the followers of the streamer .
Finally we know all the artists that will integrate this event, one of the best plans for this July, which for the first time will be held in Seville.
15. Natural pools near Seville
It is well known that the summer season in Seville has no respite and, although the heat has not yet hit us completely, it’s about time to investigate natural pools, the most refreshing alternative plan.
Going out in the street becomes impossible until late afternoon, and the day invites, at most and always after the torrid hours, to get some cool beers. Not surprisingly, there are other solutions to turn a sweltering day into a plan without fissures.
16. The most awaited premieres
The summer season is not necessarily far from the big premieres. Throughout the month of July, theaters in Seville are expecting big movie plans such as Jurassic World: The Reborn (July 2), Superman (July 11) or Sons (July 25).

The answer is given by these hotels and other spaces with swimming pools on their terraces, amazing views and refreshing cocktails that will make you fall in love with the city at any temperature.
18. The best ice cream parlors in Seville
Given the inclement weather associated with summer, Seville has a good number of ice cream parlors in its streets. And thank goodness. Among the benefits of having such an offer coexist tradition, unusual flavors and other daring and surprising creations.
19. Arcade Planet: 4 hours of video games from the 80s
Arcade Planet was born from the passion of five collectors of retro video games, who have been bringing the universe of the arcade machines of the 80s to Dos Hermanas for six years.
And in this sense, they have created almost without realizing it, the largest arcade in Spain and one of the most important in Europe in the town of Seville, one of the plans that will be your refuge this July.
