The Count’s Gardens at Tomares City Hallonce again serve as the idyllic backdrop for this event. The event is organized by the women of the Sacramental Brotherhood and takes place everyFriday and Saturday from June 26 through August 8, 2026.

This weekend, one of the summer’s most original events comes to Seville: “Space Explorers: The ISS Experience” opens its doors at Eclipso Cultural Adventures (Calle Mirador, 1) with real 360° footage recorded by NASA astronauts.
No graphics or reconstructions: you walk through the modules of the International Space Station, take part in spacewalks, and gaze at Earth from orbit as if you were actually there.
Just like at the Patio de la Diputación in Seville, where hundreds of spectators gather every summer to enjoy the “Asómate al Patio” initiative.

The Andalusian capital has that unique ability to draw you in—one that’s hard to resist, no matter how skeptical you might be about letting yourself go. And Seville’s terraces, packed with people everywhere, fill the city with a desire to linger under the sun, under the stars, and under the outdoor tables.
There’s something for everyone, from the cosmopolitan to the most bohemian, and they all have that certain je ne sais quoi that makes us happy (even if they lead us to the inevitable trap of putting on airs).
The “Veranillos del Alamillo” return to the Cortijo in this green oasis to offer a packed program of summer activities. This year’s edition includes musical bingo, outdoor magic shows, its iconic summer movie screenings, and workshops for the whole family. And, as has become tradition, it’s free.
When it comes to unique tours, there’s one in particular that continues to surprise and captivate even the city’s own residents: exploring the rooftops of Seville Cathedral.
This tour, organized by the Cabildo, literally reveals the inner workings of the Sevillian cathedral—its most authentic, secret, and spectacular spaces —allowing visitors to admire its grandeur from above. Starting May 1, this guided tour resumes its evening sessions, offering twilight visits to ascend to the cathedral’s rooftops.
In recent years, the Andalusian capital has become a cultural hub, allowing Sevillians to enjoy both established and cutting-edge cultural activities. Seville is brimming with art, avant-garde creativity, and innovation in these diverse exhibitions, which foster a rich dialogue between artists and viewers.
We’ve compiled this season’s exhibitions at Seville’s art museums, galleries, and other venues.
If Seville ever enjoyed a golden age, it was, without a doubt, the Seville of Expo ’92.
Take, for example, the success of the hidden cemetery at Los Curros de Romano Antigüedades, Guasinei’s themed retail concept, or the irresistible mini “Curro” figures knitted by Dario Gurumi. This is how the idea arose to open a store around the time of the 1992 World’s Fair in Seville.
El Baúl de Patapalo is located within the Cartuja complex—in the heart of the area that is home to the Isla Mágica theme park.This new spot, which you can now visit, is designed for those feeling nostalgic, pop culture fans, and curious tourists.
For this 2026 edition, the “Summer Nights” series at the Palace of the Marquises of La Algaba is once again featuring an exclusively musical program.
Ideal for its intimate atmosphere and excellent acoustics, the venue is known for its wide-ranging eclecticism in the selection of genres and artists.
The program features music from Al-Andalus, fado, Brazilian rhythms, Irish folk, hot jazz, medieval and Renaissance music, fusion flamenco, rock, Baroque opera, Cuban music, soul, blues, pop, and Afro-Iberian fusions.
The shows take place three days a week— Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays—during the months of July and August, with the evenings starting promptly at 9:30 p.m.
Seville Cathedral lets you enjoy its heritage in a wide variety of ways. During mass, by climbing the Giralda, exploring the rooftops or the stained-glass windows, or letting yourself be swept away by its unique guidednight tours. Because stepping through its imposing doors when the city is already asleep—and during the off-season—is undoubtedly a whole other level.
The world’s largest Gothic cathedral offers this exclusive experience, which takes place every Saturday. A perfect opportunity to delve into the history of Seville Cathedral, its best-kept secrets, and the magic of the Magna Hispalensis under the moonlight.
Candlelight sets its sails to highlight some of the city’s most incredible venues , from the Seville Aquarium auditorium to the Casino de la Exposición. Seville, in this case, offers a full musical program every weekend as an integral part of its nightlife.
The Alcalá de Guadaíra City Council is reviving its summer nights in the province with the return of Noctaíra 2026. This well-established cultural festival, known for being free and suitable for all ages, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year under the slogan “10 Years Lighting Up the Nights of Alcalá.”
With a lineup of some fifty cultural events, the festival will bring the town’s most iconic venues to life through music, theater, circus performances, and its famous guided tours. Cristopher Rivas, the delegate for Tourism and Culture at the Alcalá de Guadaíra City Council, noted:
The dramatized tours at the Real Alcázar of Seville will run for more than fifty nights this spring and summer. Every Thursday and Friday, with four daily showings—9:00 p.m., 9:30 p.m., 10:00 p.m., and 10:30 p.m.—through the end of October.
This 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.
On this occasion, the event is organized by the Teatro Clásico de Sevilla theater company and once again features the works of playwright Alfonso Zurro.
Manu Jara’s venture was bound to make a splash, and quite a few people had been wondering for some time what he would do next. The French pastry chef based in Seville is following a strategy of expansion for his high-end pastry line , which he launched in the Triana neighborhood in 2013 to kick off his sweet empire. This time, he’s adding the Manu Jara ‘Frío Fino’ Ice Cream Parlor to his brand, located at 83 Pureza Street.
You have to make your way to this hugely popular spot in Triana—just as one would have made a pilgrimage in Manu Jara’s early days to satisfy a sudden craving for his mille-feuille—to try their ice cream at the foot of Santa Ana.
In a city like Seville, where churches have ceased to multiply to make way for the proliferation of gastronomic temples, it was only to be expected that new dining concepts would join the scene, ready to surprise diners. And when it comes to the illustrious art of hanging out at the bar, Seville also has a lot to offer.
We step away from the table to get up close to the chef’s vibrant experience, right by the stoves, watching the dishes come together live or from the pass—14 must-visit spots to eat in Seville.
Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, or Super Mario. Those arcade machines from the ’80s where you’d spend hours playing without even blinking have reappeared in Seville in the form of Arcade Planet, a venue set up in Dos Hermanas with every arcade game you can imagine.
Or, in other words: Spain’s largest video game expo and one of the most important in all of Europe.
Treats for Two at AIRE Ancient Baths
The renowned experiences offered by AIRE Ancient Baths are well known to many, and having a temple in Seville is truly a privilege.
