Christmas in Seville, Seville, Spain

The holiday season in the city聽brings new sounds, smells, and tastes along with it! You鈥檒l hear and see a variety of music groups and street performers in the Casco Antiguo as well as enjoy the taste and smell of the incense and roasted chestnuts (called casta帽as) sold on all the busiest shopping streets. There鈥檚 also a聽nativity scene market (mercadillo de belenes)聽near the cathedral where you can buy little figurines and decorations to create the perfect setup for the Holy Family in your home. The main holiday attraction in Sevilla is the mapping light show projected onto the city hall (Ayuntamiento) in Plaza de San Francisco. Usually there鈥檚 a laser and light show (The Spirit of Christmas) from mid-December to early January. Many people go shopping on and around Calle Sierpes (near Plaza del Salvador) as well, so if you鈥檙e looking for some last minute Christmas presents be sure to check it out! ......
