Hello! We will be in Seville during the week of Christmas.
Will restaurants, cafe or grocery stores be open on Christmas Day or Eve? I just saw someone's post regarding restaurants on New Year's Day!
I'll also appreciate suggestions on grocery stores as this will be our first time in Seville.
Thanks very much. Have a safe and wonderful holiday!
EL LIMON restaurant at the hotel DON RAMON. is excellent. They are open for dinner on Christmas Day.
Closed Christmas Eve and NYE.
I would make reservations for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as not all restaurants will be open, and those which are will be busy,
As far as grocery stores are concerned, locate your hotel/apt on google maps and search for grocery stores/supermarkets. These are likely to be closed on Christmas Day, and shut early on Christmas Eve, unless they are owned by non-Spanish/Christian people.
I’ve spent many xmas’s in Seville over the years. The most recent being 2024. The decorations along Av. de la Constitución and Plaza de San Francisco are stunning. We love the atmosphere in Seville at this time of year.
We eat early on xmas eve at the same restaurant, as we know it will be open. The streets are generally quiet in the afternoon and many shops/markets close early.
From our experience the streets are quiet xmas morning, but many restaurants/bakeries open later in the day. We tend to dine when the restaurants open, otherwise they are packed. We cook dinner in our apartment xmas night, I’m not sure what's open xmas night.
Boxing day in chaotic in the evening with massive crowds lining the streets enjoying fiestas.
Depending on your location, supermarkets are dotted everywhere.
