Date TBCNearby · Córdoba, ESCruces de Mayo 2027 — Córdoba
Córdoba kicks off its flower-filled \"Mayo Cordobés\" with the Cruces de Mayo: squares and courtyards across the city are decorated with huge crosses made of red carnations, surrounded by bars, sevillanas dancing and fino sherry.
Velá de Santiago y Santa Ana 2026 — Triana
Triana's beloved summer street fiesta honours the district's patroness, Santa Ana, with six days of riverside revelry on Calle Betis and Plaza del Altozano. Nightly concerts, stalls and the daring 'cucaña' — a greased pole jutting over the Guadalquivir — define this most quintessentially Sevillian of celebrations.
Bienal de Flamenco
Held every even-numbered year, the Bienal de Flamenco is the world's foremost flamenco festival, filling Seville's theatres, courtyards and tablaos with the genre's leading artists.
