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.

Seville “ las setas”

Seville “Las Setas “(Mushrooms) are one of the main attractions of the city. It is one of the most visited monuments, and according to a recent survey conducted by the Tourist Board, this space is arousing more interest than the Cathedral among tourists. As an architectural refurbishment, innovation and technological symbol, “Las Setas” are the world´s largest wooden made structure and they are located on the northern area of the old city, previously known as Encarnacion Square. Let´s find out a little more about this charming building.

“ Las setas” origins

Seville “ Las Setas” were originally referred to as Metropol Parasol Space and they were designed in order to renew Encarnacion Square. It aimed to link two independent areas located either side of the road, where cars usually drive, and to shade a leisure and entertainment area rich in history in our city.
Initially, it was not welcomed between neighbours due to an inadequate design completely opposed to the classicism of historical monuments, but it is being slowly accepted as a first move towards modernization of the Andalusian capital.
The structure was inaugurated in 2011 and due to a series of problems in its completion, the price increased from its initial budget to 86 million euros.

Its architect: jürgen mayer-hermann

The project was assigned to Jürgen Mayer-Hermann, as a winner in the International Contest of Ideas Encarnacion de Sevilla in 2004.
Jürgen is a german architect and artist, he was born in 1965 in Stutgartt. Some of his works were presented at the MOMA in New York and he was awarded for several of his works, as Mensa Moltke, University of Karlsruhe, before the building of “ Las Setas”.

Parasol construction and design

Having a size of 150  long, 70 wide and 26 metres high ,  Seville “Las Setas “ stand as one of the great monuments in the historical centre. As previously mentioned, it was basically built from wood, it took more than 7.500 wooden elements linked together with steel structures.

One enchanting walk
