Here in the city of Seville, the winter days are approaching. The weather is getting colder and the nights darker, but that also means the holiday season is just around the corner. The city is already beautifully decorated, but in the evenings, the lights aren’t on yet. In Seville, it’s a special moment when all the lights and Christmas decorations in the city are turned on at the same time. It’s really fun to be there if you’re in Seville!
When Does the Christmas Lights Turn On in Seville?
On Friday, November 28th at 6:30 PM, the Christmas lights in Seville will be switched on. At that moment, the city will be illuminated with thousands of lights that have been put up weeks in advance. This marks the official start of the holiday season. Additionally, there will be several light shows and Christmas markets.
The lights can be seen in various locations, such as Avenida de la Constitución, Campana, Laraña, Imagen, and Plaza Nueva. Finally, there will also be a light show at Plaza de San Francisco.
What Does the City Look Like During the Holidays?
