February in Seville is not just a month between winter chills and the awakening of spring. During this period, the city is truly transformed: the streets fill with energy, and the cultural scene steps beyond its usual boundaries. For those seeking extraordinary experiences, February 2026 promises to be a time when Seville reveals its most unexpected sides. Here, everyone can find something to their liking — from major sporting events to intimate exhibitions and musical experiments.
A city on the move
One of the most notable events of the month will be the 41st Zurich Maratón de Sevilla, taking place on February 15. About 20,000 participants from around the world are expected at the starting line. The marathon’s route, considered one of the flattest in Europe, runs through the city’s iconic landmarks: runners will pass the majestic Plaza de España, the sunlit Torre del Oro, the famous Giralda, and the shady avenues of Maria Luisa Park. On this day, the city’s atmosphere turns into a true urban celebration, as sport brings together locals and visitors alike.
The marathon is not only a challenge for athletes but also an opportunity for residents to come out into the streets, support the runners, and feel part of a major event. On this day, the whole city seems to breathe in unison with the marathon’s rhythm, and spectators become an essential part of the action.
Music and gastronomy
For those who prefer a more laid-back experience, Electrolunch XXL on February 7 in Magallanes Park will be a real discovery. This event has long been popular among both locals and visitors. For twelve hours, the park transforms into a vast space for family recreation: electronic music plays, there are gastronomic zones, workshops, and creative activities for children. The atmosphere is reminiscent of European open-air festivals, where everyone can find something to their liking.
Electrolunch XXL is more than just a music festival—it’s a cultural phenomenon that brings generations together. Here, young families, groups of friends, lovers of unique flavors, and fans of modern music all meet. In 2026, organizers promise new formats and unexpected surprises for guests.
Contemporary art
Art lovers should pay attention to the ‘Artillera’ series held within the former Royal Artillery Factory. Since the beginning of the year, this venue has become a space for bold experiments in dance, music, performance, and sound art. In February, special attention is drawn to the premiere of ‘Umbráfono,’ a unique project by artist Enrique del Castillo, taking place on February 22. The series is aimed at supporting local talent and fostering new forms of cultural dialogue.
A visit to ‘Artillera’ offers a chance to see historic walls come to life as the city’s traditions blend with modern trends. Each trip here holds unexpected discoveries, even for those who consider themselves true connoisseurs of Seville’s culture.
Inspiration at the Alcázar
Until March 1, the Real Alcázar is hosting the exhibition ‘Sorolla at the Real Alcázar of Seville.’ The display features fifteen works by the renowned artist, many of which were created within the walls of this unique landmark. Visitors can not only admire the paintings, but also gain a fresh perspective on the architecture and atmosphere of the Alcázar, seeing it through the master’s eyes.
The exhibition is seamlessly integrated into the palace tour route, allowing visitors to combine learning about the city’s history with immersion in the world of art. For lovers of painting and history, this is a rare opportunity to see Seville through the lens of one of Spain’s most brilliant artists.
The sounds of the city
February in Seville is also a time for major concerts. This month, local stages will showcase both national pop stars and artists representing new musical genres. Among the most anticipated events are the concerts by Taburete (February 21), Mikel Izal (February 26), Lucho RK and La Pantera (February 27), as well as performances by Hijos de la Ruina, Natos y Waor, and Recycled J (February 27), and Estrella Morente (February 28). Each concert tells its own story and has the power to surprise even the most seasoned listener.
The February music lineup covers a broad range of genres, from traditional flamenco to contemporary urban styles. Seville sounds especially vibrant these days, and tickets for major concerts sell out well in advance.
Weather and atmosphere
February’s climate plays in favor of those planning walks and excursions. Daytime temperatures stay around 18–20 degrees, nights are mild, and rain is rare. This is the ideal time for long strolls through historic quarters, visiting parks, and enjoying outdoor terraces. Even if a rainy day arrives, the city doesn’t lose its charm—in fact, Seville becomes even more mysterious and cozy.
In February, the usual tourist crowds of spring are gone, so you can soak up the atmosphere at your own pace, discover new places, and truly feel like a local.
Zurich Maratón de Sevilla is more than just a sporting event—it’s a true symbol of the city’s energy and openness. Over the years, the marathon has become one of the largest and most prestigious races in Spain, attracting not only professional athletes but also amateurs from around the world. Its route is considered one of the most scenic and record-friendly, and participants consistently praise the organization. The marathon has become an integral part of Seville’s cultural life, bringing together people of all ages and nationalities in a shared drive for movement and achievement.
