What you gain in January
- ↑Accommodation prices at their lowest: the same hotel that charges €200 in April is routinely under €80 in January
- ↑The historic old town — Santa Cruz lanes, the Alcázar gardens, the Cathedral interior — entirely accessible without queues or crowds
- ↑Mild temperatures of 14–16°C make walking the old city all day genuinely comfortable; tapas bars full of locals rather than tour groups
What you sacrifice
- ↓The Alcázar gardens are past their peak and some blooms absent; orange blossom season is still two months away
- ↓Shorter days (around 9 hours of daylight) with periodic rain weeks interrupting outdoor plans
- ↓January has no significant festivals or cultural events — the city is at its quietest and most ordinary
