For Advent 2026, Seville has two seasonal markets with published information: the Sabores de Navidad food weekends on 12-13 and 19-20 December, and the Feria del Belén nativity market, which the tourism portal shows from 8 November to 23 December but marks as provisional. The Christmas craft fair had no confirmed 2026/27 dates at the research date. Our Seville Christmas markets guide (PDF) keeps every date with its source and status.
Only one event has dates that the organiser has announced in a calendar. Prodetur lists two Sabores de Navidad weekends in its 2026 Ferias del Patio calendar. Both fall on a Saturday and Sunday. For the other markets, the information is either provisional or belongs to the previous season.
The Prodetur calendar also lists a ceramics fair on 7-8 November and a bread, oil, olive and ECO products fair on 28-29 November. These are autumn fairs, not additional Christmas markets.
This is where the guide is careful. For Sabores de Navidad, specific December visitor hours and any admission conditions had not been published in the announcements reviewed. October hours for other fairs at the same venue do not automatically apply in December. For the Feria del Belén, the guide does not treat the hours on the portal as a confirmed daily schedule, because the whole season is still marked as indicative.
The year-round places in the guide have clearer timetables:
Seville does not have one central Christmas market square. Each event has its own address, and the guide recommends saving the exact street rather than searching for a general Christmas market.
Choose the most reliable reason for your trip first. If regional food is your focus, the two December weekends give you a firm frame. If the nativity market matters most, wait for a confirmed announcement before booking a short stay around it, or choose accommodation with flexible change conditions. Triana and Santa Paula work on their normal opening days, whatever happens with the seasonal programme. Our page on Seville Christmas markets 2026 keeps the calendar in one place.
The Feria del Belén is shown from 8 November 2026 on the tourism portal, but that date is provisional. Sabores de Navidad starts on 12 December. Check current announcements before you travel.
The portal shows 23 December 2026 as the last day, again as an indicative date based on previous years.
The calendar lists only the four weekend days. It does not show trading between the two weekends.
For the full calendar, addresses and six routes, see the Seville guide or browse more Christmas market guides.
Research status 27 October 2026. Dates, opening times and prices are planning information; please check the official sources before travelling.
