Why go to Seville in September?
The heat is manageable
September brings an end to the summer’s extreme heat, with daytime highs dropping to temperatures suitable for daytime exploring. Locals take advantage of this by setting up shop at outdoor cafés and restaurant terraces, enjoying the beautiful weather with an iced drink.
Hotel prices are lower
Hotel rates fall significantly from summer peaks. You can stay at boutique hotels in the historic center or luxury properties with rooftop pools for lower prices than just a few weeks earlier.
It’s the start of theater season
September is the start of theatre season, with venues like Teatro Central and Sala Cero putting on productions of new plays and beloved classics alike. There are plenty of events aimed primarily at Sevillanos rather than tourists, which will let you enjoy authentic experiences rarely available in peak seasons.
It’s one of the best months for local produce at the markets
September markets are overflowing with late summer tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, and the first fall pomegranates. Local olive oils from the new pressing start appearing next to seasonal fruits like figs and early autumn mushrooms. Visit in the morning to have the freshest selection and chances to chat with vendors about the best seasonal choices.
You can still go swimming at rooftop pools
Hotel and public pools stay open through September as summer crowds disappear. The water temperature stays warm enough for swimming, but without July and August's masses. Many hotel pools offer day passes for non-guests at reduced rates in September, providing refreshing breaks between sightseeing without having to fight strangers for towels and sun chairs.
