Seville enters the second half of October with a particularly strong week: cinema, literature, dance, opera, fado, theatre, family plans and the first big Halloween proposals.
From Monday 19 to Sunday 25 October, the schedule takes us from a Wim Wenders film or a meeting with Alana S. Portero to Roméo et Juliette at the Maestranza, two nights of fado at the Lope de Vega, or the Halloween-style experiences at Muelle de las Delicias.
