What you gain in April

  • Semana Santa (Holy Week): 60,000 members of brotherhood carry floats through the old city in candlelit processions that are the most dramatic religious spectacle in Europe
  • Feria de Abril (two weeks after Easter): a week of flamenco dresses, horseback processions, casetas, and dancing that is entirely unlike anything else in Spain
  • Perfect spring weather of 22–26°C with minimal rain: the conditions that showcase Seville's architecture and outdoor culture at their finest

What you sacrifice

  • Accommodation prices at maximum: the cheapest rooms double; good hotels need booking six or more months ahead for Semana Santa week
  • Restaurants fully booked, queues at every major sight, and the streets around the Cathedral impassable during processions
  • Feria de Abril is a local insider event — access to the best private casetas requires invitation, and tourists often find themselves watching from outside
