TIME TO ENJOY
THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS IN SEVILLE
Christmas in Seville shines with a unique brilliance. It’s a season when the city transforms into a stage of light, music and deeply rooted traditions.
While Semana Santa may be the peak of its devotion, Christmas in Seville is no less enchanting. Here, the festive spirit blends passion, art and the warmth of a one-of-a-kind culture.
It all begins with the much-anticipated lighting of the holiday decorations—a spectacle illuminating 294 streets and adorning the iconic bridges of Triana, San Telmo, and Los Remedios. During the Immaculate Conception long weekend, the Congreso Internacional de Hermandades y Piedad Popular processions mark the start of the celebrations, while the Alcázar fills with melodies from Christmas concerts hosted by the Ateneo and the Tuba Orchestra.
Christmas choirs fill the plazas, infusing every corner with festive cheer, while the historic Artillery Factory adds a special touch with carols reimagined in jazz and flamenco. Music becomes the soul of the festivities, connecting everyone, wandering through the streets with the authentic Sevillian spirit.
An unforgettable Christmas with our workshops
Amid this festive ambiance, the boutique Hotel Plácido y Grata stands as a destination in its own right for those seeking to experience Christmas in Seville in a truly authentic and special way. Each year, the magic begins at our front door, where Orangerie, with its unmistakable style, adorns the entrance to the hotel, creating a captivating welcome that has become a classic in the city.
“Christmas at the Hotel Plácido y Grata means gatherings”.
The rest of the decoration, including the majestic Christmas tree that welcomes our guests in the Arabian patio and the delicate details scattered in every corner of the hotel, has been carefully conceived by the Your Living Space team. This year, Marta and Carlota have added a distinctive touch to the rooms with Ferm Living‘s Mura Advent candles. These candles, a contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Danish kalenderlys, perfectly combine the warmth of Andalusian tradition with the serenity of Nordic design.
Holiday workshops: traditions to fall in love with
Our Christmas wreath-making workshops, led by our florist Juanma from Orangerie Floral Studio, have become one of the season’s most anticipated traditions at the hotel. These sessions, blending art, creativity and the festive spirit, are more than just decorative activities—they’re moments of connection and learning in a warm, inviting environment.
Under Juanma’s expert guidance, participants explore working with natural materials such as fir branches, eucalyptus, berries, and pinecones, crafting unique pieces that capture the essence of Christmas. Whether you’re seeking inspiration or a different experience, these workshops offer a space where locals and guests can share stories, laughter and their love for Christmas traditions.
