What You Should Know
- November is mild but cooling, with pleasant 20°C afternoons giving way to chilly 10°C evenings, and it is one of the wetter months of the year.

💰 Average November hotel prices (central Seville, 4-star mid-range):
Early November: ~€120/night · Late November: ~€95/night
Rough mid-range estimates; rates vary by property and booking lead time.
November is where Seville settles back into calm and value. The comfortable autumn crowds thin out, prices slide toward the winter low, and the city takes on a quiet, local rhythm, with the cooler, shorter days nudging life indoors. Our take: November is an underrated value month for travelers who want the monuments quiet and the prices gentle, and who do not mind trading long sunny days for cozy autumn evenings.
It suits couples after a low-key break, culture-first visitors who lean on the indoor sights, and anyone chasing good value without the depths of winter. We'd lean toward the first three weeks, when the weather is mildest, and we'd only choose late November if the lowest prices matter more than the warmth and the daylight. The biggest difference from October is the drop in both temperature and crowds: the city is quieter and cheaper, but you trade the all-day comfort of early autumn for shorter, cooler, occasionally wet days.

Seville Weather in November
Temperature and Daylight
November is the gentle slide from autumn into winter. Afternoons stay mild around 20°C early in the month, easing into the high teens by late November, while evenings turn properly cool near 10°C as the first cold fronts arrive. With the clocks already back, the days are short: sunrise is around 8:00 AM and sunset close to 6:00 PM, so the usable daylight is limited and the evenings are long and dark.
Rain Pattern
Along with December, November is one of Seville's wetter months, averaging about seven rainy days. What typically happens is a mix of bright, mild days and unsettled spells that can bring a run of showers, especially later in the month. The rain is rarely all-day, but it is frequent enough that an indoor plan in reserve and a packed umbrella are both worthwhile.
Outdoor Conditions and What to Pack
On a dry November day the city is comfortable and calm, ideal for unhurried sightseeing. Pack for cool, changeable weather: layers, a warm top for the evening, comfortable shoes, and a reliable umbrella or rain jacket. The big shift from October is that the daylight and the warmth are both noticeably reduced, so plan outdoor sights for the middle of the day and let the dark, cool evenings steer you indoors.
Crowds and Prices in November
November is a return to the quiet, low-cost end of the calendar. After the autumn high season, both crowds and prices fall through the month, with only the All Saints' long weekend at the very start and the SICAB show mid-month adding any real activity.
The November 1 holiday brings a long weekend and a brief busier spell, with families visiting cemeteries and seasonal pastries in the bakeries.

The SICAB Spanish horse show fills the exhibition center mid-month, drawing equestrian visitors, though the city center stays quiet.
Late November is the lowest-priced and quietest, but also the coolest and most likely to be wet as winter approaches.
Across November, expect light crowds and central 4-star rooms around €90 to €120, sliding toward the winter low as the month goes on.
Seville Month by Month: Weather, Crowds, and Prices
To put November in context, here is how Seville's three big trip variables, temperature, crowds, and hotel prices, move across the year. November is the quiet, cooling slide toward the winter low, highlighted below.
ℹ️ Charts are based on typical Seville climate normals and the central 4-star mid-range hotel pricing our team tracks. Actual rates vary year to year and by booking lead time. April's spike reflects Semana Santa and the Feria de Abril.
How November Compares to Other Months
If you are weighing November against the months either side of it, this is the quick version. The table covers the two months before and after November so you can see autumn handing over to winter.
| Month | Crowds | Weather | Prices |
|---|---|---|---|
| September | Medium | Hot (32°C) | High |
| October | Medium-High | Warm (26°C) | High |
| November | Low | Mild (20°C) | Moderate |
| December | Medium | Cool (17°C) | Moderate |
| January | Very Low | Mild (16°C) | Lowest |
The short read: November is the quiet, mild bridge between the comfortable autumn and the winter low. It is cooler and cheaper than October, and milder but a touch busier than the Christmas-bumped December that follows. For travelers chasing value and calm, it is one of the most underrated months.

Quiet Traditions and Autumn in Seville in November
November is a low-key month, and its appeal lies in the calm and the value rather than a marquee festival. Still, a couple of genuine traditions and the turn toward cozy autumn culture give it character.
All Saints' Day (November 1)
Todos los Santos, on November 1, is a national holiday and a quietly important one. Families visit cemeteries to lay flowers, and the bakeries fill with seasonal sweets like huesos de santo and buñuelos. It brings a brief long weekend and a gentle, reflective start to the month, a window into everyday Sevillano tradition.
SICAB, the Spanish Horse Show (mid-November)
In the middle of the month, Seville hosts SICAB, the international showcase of the Pura Raza Española, the Andalusian horse, at the FIBES exhibition center. It is one of the world's largest single-breed horse shows, with dressage, competitions, and displays, and a real draw for anyone interested in Spain's equestrian tradition.
Cozy Autumn Culture
Beyond the events, November is when Seville's indoor life comes into its own: warm tapas bars, hearty autumn cooking with the new olive oil, sherry tastings, and intimate flamenco rooms all suit the cool, dark evenings. We like this for travelers who enjoy a city at its most local and unhurried.

The November Tradeoff: Value and Calm for Cooler, Shorter Days
November's bargain, low prices and a quiet city, comes with the cooler, wetter, shorter days of late autumn. None of it is severe, but together it shapes a different kind of trip from the sunny months.
Cooler, Wetter Weather
Days are mild but evenings turn cold near 10°C, and with around seven rainy days, November is one of the wetter months. The fix is simple: dress in layers, carry an umbrella, and keep indoor options like a flamenco show, a cooking class, or the cathedral interior ready for a wet spell. In practice, plenty of November days are bright and pleasant.
Short, Dark Days
With sunset near 6:00 PM, the daylight is limited and the evenings long. That suits November's indoor strengths, but it does mean planning outdoor sights and any day trip for the middle of the day, and accepting that the golden hour comes early.
The Real Upside
In return, you get some of the lowest prices and thinnest crowds of the year outside deep winter, with the monuments calm and the city feeling local and unhurried. We think the tradeoff is well worth it for travelers who value quiet and cost over long, warm days.

| Hop-on-hop-off bus | 6/10 | Midday | The open top deck is chilly; ride midday and sit covered if a shower threatens. |
What We'd Prioritize in November
November is an indoor-forward month, and that is its strength. Lean into the cozy: a flamenco show, an autumn-menu tapas crawl, a cooking class, and a sherry tasting all suit the cool, dark evenings, and they are at their most atmospheric now. We'd give this the edge for travelers who want a calm, local, good-value city break and are happy to spend the evenings warm and indoors.
For the daytime, watch the forecast and seize the dry, bright days for the outdoor sights, which are blissfully quiet this time of year. The Alcázar, the Cathedral and Giralda, and a calm walking tour are all comfortable on a mild November day, and you will share them with far fewer people than in autumn. In our view the visitors who enjoy November most treat it as a cozy, flexible trip rather than a sun-and-sightseeing marathon.
More November Ideas Without a Dedicated Guide
Beyond the bookable tours, a handful of low-key experiences make the most of a cool, quiet November:
- Try the All Saints' sweets: Around November 1, the bakeries sell seasonal huesos de santo and buñuelos, a tasty window into local tradition.
- See SICAB if you love horses: The mid-November Spanish horse show at the FIBES center is a major draw for equestrian fans.
- Cozy tapas indoors: November is the season for hearty autumn dishes, stews, and the year's new olive oil in the warm bars of Santa Cruz and Triana.
- Churros con chocolate: A thick hot chocolate on a cool morning is exactly right in November, at a classic spot like Bar El Comercio.
- Dry-day park walks: On bright days, María Luisa Park and Plaza de España are calm and lovely in the low autumn light.
- Las Setas rooftop early: With sunset near 6:00 PM, head up for the golden hour in the late afternoon rather than the evening.
- A flamenco night in the rain: A warm tablao is the perfect place to be when a November shower rolls through.
ℹ️ Tip: November days are short and can be wet, so plan outdoor sights for the middle of the day and keep a cozy indoor option ready for the long, dark evenings.
From Our Experience
November rewards a cozy, flexible mindset: the travelers who book their evenings around warm, indoor experiences and keep the daytime open to seize the bright, dry days get a calm, great-value trip, while those expecting reliable sun and long days are the ones it disappoints.
Tips for Visiting Seville in November
- Plan for indoor evenings: With sunset near 6:00 PM and cool nights, build the evenings around flamenco, tapas, tastings, and cooking classes.
- Seize the dry days for sightseeing: Watch the forecast and use the bright, mild days for the Alcázar, the Giralda, and walking, which are wonderfully quiet now.
- Pack layers and an umbrella: Mild days and cold evenings near 10°C call for layering, and about seven rainy days make a reliable umbrella essential.
- Travel mid-month for the balance: The first three weeks are mildest, with the SICAB show mid-month; late November is cheapest but coolest and wettest.
- Enjoy the value: Prices and crowds are back near their lows, so November is a strong month for a calm, affordable city break.

How We Put This Guide Together
The Spain Travel Insider team built this November guide around what actually changes month to month in Seville: the weather, the daylight, the crowd levels, the prices, and which experiences are at their best in the quiet of late autumn. We cross-checked typical November climate figures, the timing of All Saints' Day and the SICAB horse show, the autumn gastronomy season, and the seasonal pricing patterns we track for central 4-star hotels, then matched each activity rating to how it really feels this time of year rather than in the abstract. The aim is an honest picture: where November rewards you, like low prices, thin crowds, and cozy indoor culture, and where it asks for flexibility, like the cooler, wetter, shorter days, so you can decide whether it fits the trip you want.
