February trade-offs
- ↓Weather remains variable: February can bring extended rainy spells of several days that disrupt outdoor sightseeing
- ↓Carnival (Carnaval) occurs in February or early March but Seville's is modest compared to Cádiz — not a major draw
- ↓Evenings still cool at 7–9°C, limiting terrace dining that defines the Seville experience at its best
October trade-offs
- ↓Some October rain is likely — not the persistent grey of northern Europe, but occasional heavy showers that can last half a day
- ↓Daylight shortening toward 11 hours by month end: late afternoons require earlier dinner planning than in summer
- ↓The Alcázar and Cathedral remain popular; October is not the empty city of January — advance booking still advisable
