Those returning to Seville weighed down by the daily grind almost always greet September with gloom and weariness instead of reimagining this last month of summer as a time to make the most of it. For better or worse, this is one of the months with the most negative connotations on the calendar; a minority looks forward to starting their vacations in the coming days, while the vast majority of Spaniards spend the first few weeks feeling nostalgic.
It’s true—we’re saying goodbye to summer. But we want to welcome fall in style, with refreshing walks, outdoor concerts, outdoor cafes, day trips, and the best cultural offerings. Enough reasons to get excited about this leisure guide.
Following the success of previous editions of Candlelight, the year kicks off with an exquisite selection of concerts in an incomparable setting. Throughout the month, you’ll have several unmissable musical events at unique venues like Casa Salinas or the Global Omnium Auditorium—always brought to you by Candlelight. We’ve detailed them below.
- The Best Soundtracks at the Luxurious Hotel Alfonso XIII (September 3)
- Great hits from the ’70s and ’80s amid hundreds of candles (September 3)
- Tribute to Joan Manuel Serrat at the Alfonso XIII (September 6)
- The Best of ’80s Rock Amid Candlelight (September 6)
- Love Songs from the Most Famous Animated Movies (September 19, 20, and 26)
The future of motorsports will be on full display the last weekend of the month, as rookie drivers compete in the Formula 4 category at the iconic Circuito de Jerez-Ángel Nieto, just an hour from downtown Seville.
The EPIC NAPA Racing Weekend is the fifth stop on the Spanish Formula 4 Championship and promises plenty of adrenaline and suspense: five drivers are separated by just 29 points in the standings.
Some getaways are planned on a whim, and others because the occasion calls for it: it’s the first time in 45 years that something like this has been held. This is the second. This September, Madrid will be filled with the roar of engines for the 2026 TAG HEUER FORMULA 1 SPANISH GRAND PRIX, which will mark the debut — for the first time in an F1® Grand Prix—of the Madrid Circuit.
On the track, the usual suspects and many more. Carlos Sainz is racing at home. Fernando Alonso, with the experience of someone who’s seen it all. Lando Norris, going for another pole position (the top spot on the starting grid). Twenty drivers, the same new asphalt, and an entire city with its eyes on the stopwatch. The event runs from September 11 to 13, and from Seville, the AVE high-speed train gets you to Madrid in just over two and a half hours.
The Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art has already finalized the program for its next edition of Pop CAAC, which has established itself as one of the must-see events for music lovers during the summer.
This year it takes place on September 10 and 11, and September 18 and 10, featuring great musical acts. Before then, however, you can enjoy its summer film series, exhibitions, or Jazz Tuesdays.
From urban sounds to established artists, the CAAC stage will move—for the seventh consecutive year—from its main courtyard to the meadow at the Monasterio de la Cartuja to accommodate a larger audience and ensure the safety of attendees.

September in Seville is unthinkable without the proliferation of events that herald a fall packed with activities, and the 24th Flamenco Biennial promises to kick things off in style. The city’s close ties to this art form have meant that this ambitious festival has been held every two years since 1980.
From September 9 to October 3, 2026, the city will become the epicenter of flamenco with a historic edition celebrating the centennial of the “Generation of the 1920s” and the Ópera Flamenca.
Seville’s cultural calendar for the fall has just added one of its most anticipated events. The Seville Provincial Council is organizing the Festival del Patio + Metrópolis for the third time, the musical initiative that takes place toward the end of September.
From September 11 to October 3, a total of nine top-notch concerts will be held at the Patio de la Diputación and in five Sevillian municipalities. This project has firmly established itself as one of the major driving forces behind live music in the province.
With a firm commitment to diversity of styles and affordable prices, the festival seeks to democratize access to culture.
The names headlining this year’s lineup speak for themselves: Abraham Mateo, Café Quijano, Pablo López, Luz Casal, Tanxugueiras, Morgan, Los Planetas, Ginebras, and La Plazuela.
The vast Andalusian coastline hides true treasures, still untouched by the crowds of beachgoers. These are 8 of the most beautiful coves in Andalusia that are every bit as stunning as the paradises promised by movies and travel magazines.

This year, 2026, marks the 500th anniversary of the wedding of Charles V and Isabella of Portugal, and therefore a theatrical reenactment of the Imperial Wedding will take place.
Arcade Planet was born out of the passion of five retro video game collectors, who have spent six years bringing the world of ’80s arcade machines to Dos Hermanas. And in doing so, they have—almost without realizing it—created the largest video game arcade in Spain and one of the most important in Europe right here in this Seville municipality.
Alongside its dramatized sunset tours, the “Nights in the Gardens of the Real Alcázar” concert series has celebrated another year, marking its 27th edition.
One of Seville’s major cultural events of the summer offers, on this occasion, a program that will run until mid-September—specifically, through September 19.
Access for visitors to the gardens will be through the Puerta de la Alcoba, located on Paseo de Catalina de Ribera in the Jardines de Murillo, at 9:00 p. m., while the concerts will begin at 10:30 p.m. and will run without an intermission.
The summer season doesn’t necessarily mean fewer major movie releases. Throughout September, films like *The Raven’s Conspiracy* (September 4), the new *Resident Evil* installment (September 18) , and the highly anticipated film from Los Javis, *La bola negra* (September 25), await us in theaters .

Seville is a land of natural spectacles, and with fall comes one of our favorites: the deer rut. The guttural calls and the might of the antlers take center stage as the season begins in the Sevillian mountains.
In any case, the rutting season isn’t random, and the timing of this spectacle is carefully planned. With the arrival of the rains, the does sense the change in the weather and go into heat to give birth in the spring and secure the best pastures.
Hundreds of beaches wind along the Andalusian coastline, and many of them are considered among the best in the country. Crystal-clear waters, sunsets that bid farewell to the day with a riot of colors, rugged, unspoiled oases, and that sun that tastes like pure summer.
