March

#5 of 12 months

Strong option

Orange blossom season begins — the city warming up, perfumed streets, and good value.

  • Orange blossom fragrance fills the old city from mid-March: the streets of Santa Cruz and the Alcázar gardens at their most evocative before the Easter crowds arrive
  • Temperatures reach 20–22°C by midday: warm enough for terrace dining without summer heat
Seville October — the Plaza de España in autumn light, the semicircular facade and bridge reflections at their most serene

  • Accommodation prices approaching January lows while all sights, restaurants, and cultural life are fully operational

March trade-offs

  • Early March can still bring wet weeks: the spring transition is not guaranteed, and rainy days are common
  • Crowds beginning to build toward Easter: the Alcázar and Cathedral see noticeably more visitors than February
  • If Easter falls in late March, all April peak conditions apply — prices spike and accommodation fills weeks ahead

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
