One of those weeks when Seville is buzzing with culture, creativity and plans for the whole family is coming up. Here's a complete guide to making the most of the Old Town, Triana, El Arenal and La Alameda, which includes not only theatre and concerts but also walks, museums and corners that delight young and old alike.
🎭 The events you can't miss
Casi una catástrofe
- Where: Sala Cero
- When: Wednesday 17 September, 20:30
- It is part of the 10th edition of the Almaclara | Clásica en escena Cycle, a fantastic classical music series running from September 2025 to June 2026, with 9 shows for adults + one for school/family audiences.
- In the words of Beatriz González Calderón, Almaclara's artistic director: this year they propose “a journey through emotions, eras and genres: from the abyss of Shostakovich and the intimacy of late Beethoven… to the complicity of Amy Beach or the tenacity of Emilie Mayer; from the direct, dazzling light of Vivaldi to the discovery of Louise Héritte‑Viardot; from the dialogue between music and words in the programmes dedicated to Las Sinsombrero or María Lejárraga… to the essence of the human being that Brahms reveals in each of his melodies”.

Better… It's possible
- Where: Sala Cero
- When: Thursday 18 (20:30), Friday 19 (20:30), Sunday 21 (20:00)
- A comedy presented as a “shameless lecture” with Víctor Carretero and Práxedes Nieto. It reflects on happiness, everyday life, optimism versus pessimism, the social, artistic and economic crisis we are living through, and how all of this affects our mood. Laughs and reflection guaranteed.
- Tickets: Mejor es posible
Wendy también vuela
- Where: Teatro La Fundición
- When: from Thursday 18 to Sunday 21 September, various times (20:30, 20:00…)
- It is a family puppet show. Wendy, a young carer, looks after dependent patients, learns, grows and questions the “ideal world”. A blanket made by many women carers forms part of the set. Very beautiful for children to see the importance of care, empathy and how every person needs one another.

💡 Tips for making the most of the week
- Try to plan your mornings around something relaxed (a visit, a stroll), and keep afternoons/evenings for theatre or a concert, since Seville gains art and freshness as night falls.
- Buy tickets in advance, especially for family or popular shows.
- Bring something light for the little ones: snacks, water, comfortable clothing. Although the heat eases a little around these dates, it can still bite in the afternoon.
- Use public transport or walk if you're in the Old Town: many sights are close together and are more enjoyable without rushing.
