Autumn in Seville: A Perfect Season to Discover the City

When travelers think of Seville, their minds often drift to the dazzling springtime celebrations of Semana Santa and the April Fair, or to the long, sun-drenched days of summer. Yet for those who seek a more serene and authentic experience, autumn may be the best-kept secret of the Andalusian capital. From September to November, Seville transforms into a city bathed in golden light, where the days are still warm, the evenings are crisp, and the cultural calendar comes alive.

For guests of Hotel Boutique Casa del Poeta, nestled in the historic Santa Cruz quarter, autumn offers the chance to enjoy the very best of Seville with comfort, charm, and a slower pace that makes every moment unforgettable.

The Weather: Golden Days and Gentle Evenings

Autumn in Seville is defined by its mild climate. The sweltering heat of summer fades, giving way to pleasant temperatures averaging 20–25°C (68–77°F) during the day. This makes it ideal for exploring the city on foot, wandering through narrow cobblestone streets, and lingering in outdoor cafés without the rush of summer crowds. In the evenings, a light jacket is all you need to stroll by the Guadalquivir River or enjoy a glass of wine in a hidden courtyard.

Seasonal Colors and Sights

Seville in autumn is a feast for the senses. Jacaranda trees, with their lingering purple blossoms, and the golden hues of the setting sun create a magical atmosphere across the city. Landmarks like the Giralda Tower, the Seville Cathedral, and the Royal Alcázar appear even more striking under the soft autumn light, their centuries-old stones glowing with history.

The courtyards of Casa del Poeta reflect this seasonal beauty as well. Guests can relax by the fountain, surrounded by climbing ivy and the scent of citrus trees, enjoying the same tranquility that has defined this 17th-century home for centuries.

What to Do in Autumn

• Explore the Royal Alcázar: Still an official residence of the Spanish royal family, the Alcázar is Europe’s oldest royal palace still in use. Its gardens, less crowded in autumn, are a peaceful paradise.
• Discover Local Art and Exhibitions: The Museum of Fine Arts of Seville, housed in a former convent, often presents major seasonal exhibitions. Autumn is a wonderful time to admire works by Murillo, Zurbarán, and Velázquez.
• Experience Flamenco: Seville is the cradle of flamenco, and autumn evenings are the perfect time to immerse yourself in this passionate art form at local tablaos or cultural venues.
• Taste Seasonal Flavors: Autumn brings a rich variety of local dishes. Try roasted chestnuts sold on street corners, seasonal stews, and wines from nearby regions, best enjoyed in one of Seville’s historic tapas bars.
• Walk Along the Guadalquivir: With cooler temperatures, a walk along the river becomes a highlight. The views of Triana Bridge, the Torre del Oro, and the reflection of the city lights on the water are particularly captivating at this time of year.

A Stay at Casa del Poeta

After a day of exploration, returning to Casa del Poeta is like stepping into an oasis. The soft lighting of the rooms, the quiet charm of the courtyard, and the attentive service create a perfect retreat. Whether you choose to enjoy breakfast surrounded by marble columns and the gentle sound of the fountain, or sip a glass of Andalusian wine while planning your next day, the hotel embodies the essence of Seville in every detail.
