The Plaza de Espana in Maria Luisa Park-Seville Spain

Seville begins to live when the sun starts to set, and the orange weaves magic across the Sevillian sky.

The orange magic touches everything, from the streets that glow to the street lamps that light up Seville’s cobblestone paths, the whiff of orange serenades Seville. As nighttime comes, Seville becomes a city of passion. So, if you are visiting Seville, don’t just enjoy the day and take a few pictures then retire back to your fancy hotel. That is not how to live and enjoy Seville, for it’s a city born at night.

In other cities, night is the time they wind down for the day, but when the sun sets and takes a dip down the west, the spirits of Sevillanos begin to rise. “Hello pal,” the city calls out to you.

From the tapas experience to the special brewery of Sevillian descent, to the remarkable nightlife bustling like the fireflies, there is no shortage of enjoyment and energy to bask in and thrill yourself with in this city. There is always something fun, something exciting and something to take with you when you finally leave those Seville nights.
